One fateful night,
I laid alone,
afraid my heart,
had turned to stone.
Actions at sight
changed me within,
surrendered to
unwanted sins.
Grown apathy
spread all around,
tilted my crown,
heart hit the ground.
It did not crack,
or even dent,
such solid rock,
became so dense.
One fateful day,
I realized,
that my own heart,
was penalized.
I looked within,
found others harms,
determined to
regain my charm.
Watered my heart,
tears made it soft,
then empathy
played a great part.
Though undefined,
relaxed my mind,
my inner love
slowly aligned.
