gOld

by chritty - Aries

In a container made of gold
I store the pieces of my broken heart
sometimes I take them out
and stare at the chunks that once been a whole
this mess is the same mess that once loved
once felt pain
but now all it is , is a pile of flesh
broken flesh that can’t be fixed
why do I keep it in a container made of gold
that I do not know
it just seems like the right thing to do
don’t you think
I was a good person my heart was warm and forgiving
but solitude and loneliness turned it bitter , spiteful, and cold
revenge and deceit had broken it into
there is nothing left that I can do
except place in to a container made of gold

Reason for writing:

    my father he said some old saying a heart made of gold i dunno know :)
