On tree lights sparkle
Trying to light empty void
Yet my world is dark
…..
Gift left unopened
Lonely colorful ribbons
My heart in a box
…..
There it shall remain
Till another heart I find
To brighten my life
…..
Only then unwrapped
Silken hands that touch my soul
Unspooling ribbons
…..
Receiving the gift
Of a lonely pain filled heart
Needing only love
…..
To beat once again
To once more pump my life’s blood
To make dead eyes shine
…..
Until then it waits
Joyful purpose unfulfilled
Tied closed with heartstrings
