heart to heart

She exists
a shell of the woman
she was meant to be

Unbeknown to her
she finds herself lost
in a hollow existence

Her forgotten heart bleeds
she ignores the pain with doing
distracting herself from her self -
her heart of hearts
that awaits to be remembered
until it can wait no more

​It screams for attention
and will not be silenced
crippling her every move
​until they are face to face - heart to heart -
a familiar stranger to be embraced
