Hearts are interesting creatures.

Feeling heavy when they are empty.

Feeling light when they are full.

Running away when they should stay.

Staying when they should run away.

Becoming wild we thought we had them tamed.

Becoming tame when we long for our wildness.

Numb when we long to feel.

Aching when we long to be numb.

Hearts are interesting creatures.

A mystery I wish I could solve, a puzzle that won’t fit together.

Maybe someday I will gain some understanding.

In the meantime, bewildered I’ll be.
