Mosaic Heart. 

The interlace of me and you
Began long ago
Way back in the bygone years
Long before we exchanged tears

Through space and time
Pieces of you were falling
Shimmering softly in the atmosphere
Searching for a forever home

My heart was in pieces 
An unfinished mosaic
Waiting; wandering aimlessly
Unaware of the possibility

The possibility of you ~
Until the day our shattered fragments collided
With the force of the universe
We were united

Suddenly, the setting sun made sense
The rain became a symbol of innocence
And the wind felt like a baby’s breath
Caressing my tender neck

But then the tears came
My mosaic heart crumbled
Falling apart piece by piece
I tumbled back into the abyss

You were absorbed back into the darkness
From whence you came
And I?
I was alone again.
