Eulogy of a heart

To this heart
Who stood strong amidst the trials
Who beat in the face of fickleness
Who persisted when i gave up
Who kept me alive when i wasn't
Who rejoiced when i rejoiced
Who hurt when i hurt

Find rest
For i will persevere
For i will be true
For i will endure
For i will remain
For i will find joy
For i will survive pain

Find rest, my heart

Time

Time, my friend
who heals my wounds
and helps me forget
pain and sadness

Time, my enemy
who steals precious moments
and memories of
joy and pleasure

My friend and enemy
in one
Ambivalence takes on
a new meaning

As I yearn to rid of you
while holding you tight
As I cry out your name
in supplication and fright
