A handmade heart only beats for a second

Failing back into nothingness

A broken heart could do no better

So don’t cry when I don’t laugh again

A handmade smile only stretches across

To amuse those who fight to bring it down

But little do they know that a scar doesn’t fade

When it was carved too deep to quiet thoughts too loud

A handmade soul only aches for a minute

Because then again the candle would burn out

Hours of stitching only to unravel

So don’t be surprised when I no longer make any sound
