Silhouette Heart

Kijana Nix · September 22, 2020 ·

Silhouette Heart

a poem by Kelly H.

Shadowy heart image formed from folded book pages

Silhouette heart

calling my name,

Ignore me, for I am not your slave,

Your servant,

Your fuel,

Or your vessel;

I am not a being of anger.

Take the emptiness that circulates within me

And leave me alone.

Silhouette heart

Light as a feather,

I want the colour of the world to return.

I want the joy,

The beauty,

The sadness, the heartbreak 

The fog, the uncertainty

The pain;

The silver, the bronze, the gold, the stone;

I want it all to come back.

I lived faceless, 

I embraced the powerlessness against you until it consumed me,

aching for my pathetic self to fade away

But silhouette heart,

Leave me or not,

Will leave me helpless to myself.
