stone heart

this heart carries a stone
where a rose once bloomed
where memories were stored
but now diminished into shadows
 
this heart carries tears
left behind after heartbreak
after we lost the sun
leaving on the moonlight
 
this heart carries a dream
that never bore fruit
it remains an unripe seed
spending eternity in the dark
