One Coloured Heart

“Un cuore colorato”- one coloured heart.
Those words encompass 2013 in its entirety.
When visiting loved ones you don’t see very much,
its hard to reach out when there’s nothing to touch.
Every time that you look at that one gift,
it seems that the world had a sudden shift.
Every thing that you’ve said, every book that you’ve read
in the past, seems like time is just out of your grasp.
Just a wooden carved heart can remind me of the times,
when you were a child there were no such things as crimes.
It’s funny how you can see something in one way
but from four years that one coloured heart will never, ever change.
