Tonight

Tonight her heart Whispered

Of something else

Of something new.

Tonight her heart Wished

To ignore many

And keep a few.

Tonight her firm heart Wavered

At the burns of many

In darkness which brew.

Tonight her heart Worried

Not about the ones caged

But the birds that flew.

Tonight her heart Warned

Not of the dog's bark

But the cat's soft mew.

Tonight her heart Washed

The feelings old

To make space for new.
