A lonely paper heart.

Her heart was prancing around, hoping for a reply.
But it never came..
It crushed her every glimmer of hope and expectations.
Inside, she faltered.
When it came knocking again, she felt so weak.
She had to wipe off her tears, and couple it with the fake pretense to be strong.
She hates herself for breaking down today.
Why can't she just be a little stronger?

Until Mommy came into my room and told me, "I love you".
It was not until then, I felt the courage spiralling within me, urging me to stand up again..
