I knocked on the door,
no one answered,
She said to be here by 4,
I knocked again,
nothing,
I checked, it was unlocked,
"Helen?"
I heard crying,
"where are you?"
I started feeling pain,
pain in my heart,
the closer I got, the more I felt it,
I walked in her room,
she was sitting on her bed,
surrounded by a pool of blood,
all coming from her chest.
She held her heart in her hand,
her heart was bleeding uncontrollably
she held it, it beat slowly,
her heart, was dying,
I got closer, the pain in my chest grew,
and I knew,
I was feeling her pain, it hurt me to see her like this,
she was looking down, I touched the top of her head, gave it a kiss,
"do you trust me?"
she looked up now, red tears flowing from her eyes,
I took her heart in my hand, and it stopped bleeding, it beat normally,
she smiled, I gave it back to her, and it slowed down, and it started bleeding again,
I held out my hands and took it back, and once again the bleeding stopped, and she smiled,
"Do youyou see that? can you feel it? It's because I love you"
she said, "I love my self"
"do you?"
I gave it back, and the pain came back,
I took her hands, and together we put her heart back in her chest,
I took my heart out of my chest, and she saw it bled more than hers,
"I'm in pain"
I held it out to her, "Helen, I trust you"
I gave her my heart,
she held it, and the bleeding stopped,
love flowed through me, I smiled and tears of joy ran down my face,
"do you understand?…you are not alone"
