I am Heartsick
How do you comfort someone whose land of hearts knows
no peace
The airs of freedom have been stolen, polluted
Sullied by the sounds of bombs, guns, and each mother’s mourning wails
Each morning is clouded and divided
Because air is something no human can truly live without
The sky is our air; each morning resets
It reaches across thousands of miles to connect our three hearts to one
if i only reach out my hand to get there
though you and i are in wholly different lands
How do you teach someone wholly when their hearts are
sick and empty
The land across the world from me aches with worry
There is blood soaking the streets and cruel boots marching on the ground
We come from lands of one and three
And hope our friendship can stand the test of this trial
This righteous pain caused by unholy gods
Leaves us feeling small where we could be giants
And yet, if i could fix this myself
You’d need only tell me where to start
If you needed a mountain,
I’d sink my fingers into the earth and shift the tectonic plates
If you needed the moon,
I’d tear down the sky, star by star, and beg with silver tears until it came
If you needed a hero,
I’d crawl up to Olympus and best Heracles to steal his title myself
but i can’t
and so
I am Heartsick
