Poetry: Fixing the heart

by Alyssa Bella

Created on: April 16, 2009

She spoke words that night to a December sky

As she stood on the bridge alone

Offering tears to the river below

She promised her heart'd be known



Shivering promises made by a girl

Wanting for things yet unseen

She whispered her vows to a cold quiet night

Said goodbye to the days that had been




Somewhere inside, warmth tickled and grew

Climbing it's way to her lips

And she smiled on the world, said goodbye to hate

That had grown with life's schooling whips



How she laughed as she twirled about in the white

Lay no longer his problems with her

The chorus of life and hope flooded in

Once frozen, her dreams again stir



Snow was about her, whirling and wild



She danced too close to the side



As society pleasantry played at the ball



Her warmth met the rivers dark ride
