They stitched in
Our heart
It was a glistening stone
Patches of dust
Bound together
Like wishes
When we are happy
It shines blue
Underneath our skin
When the shadows swarm
It turns red
A light to guide us
A hint in the night
Someone has shown us mercy
Helped us to breathe
We hold our hand
To our chest
Feel the beat
And the warmth
We are alive
Little Cricket
The Red Queen
Cannot steal our heart
It is safely stitched in
Beautiful loops and twirls
A scar we can love
We rest on the bed
Happy to follow the beat
Of our heart.
I love "Someone has shown us mercy / helped us to breathe". And that the Red Queen can't steal a heart so beautifully sewn.
