Part I:

My heart
Broken and shattered
Lost in a feeling of helplessness

A flower
Withering and weeping
Dying without light

Neither my heart
Nor a mere flower
Can be revived.

Part II:

My heart is beating
Not fast but it is starting again
Brought back from a simple call
An old flame to rekindle the flame
Not to a fire
But a flicker of light and hope.

A flower can be returned to beauty
Just give it water
And a little love and care
It will slowly perk
And be again beautiful
With life and hope.
