VitalityGone doesn't mean irrelevant.
What feels a lot like honor Still bleeds out like pain. Taking a gift and holding it heavy Holding it open And keeping it sweet. It never gets easy It never stays right. Each time I break my heart When it screams and aches When it craves and when it eases I'll remember why it beats. This piece was specifically intended for an important person I met in 2019. One who had received a new heart from someone who could no longer use it. Meeting him was one of the most fantastic days - seeing how bright he is, and how much he loves life. At such a young age, he seems to already appreciate the things he has been given in this life, and it makes me reconsider everything I have to be thankful for.
