Poem

Once

By Car (Carolyn Reynolds)

 

Once I had a heart.

I know it’s true, I could hear it beating,

keeping time to life,

skipping a beat now and again,

when something romantic gave it a tweak.

 

Once I had a heart,

one that reminded me I was alive inside and out,

keeping me posted on being alive,

beating faster when time was right,

when something reminded me I was alive.

 

Once I had a heart,

alive like a rose in full bloom spreading,

growing from a tight bud,

opening into a fully glorious flower,

when someone let me know I was special.

 

I know I still have a heart,

but because it is folded up again into a bud,

I now know the things it told me,

are no longer like an opened flower,

because I am no longer a special bloom.
