Destined Perspectives

Resuscitating My Heart

I had a nightmare I was in love. 
Floating on clouds in love, 
until it\'s revealed to be a mirage. 
The realization knocking me off my 
cloud head first to the hard ground.
I grieve while trying to resuscitate 
my heart through other people. 
But in the end I write a eulogy 
in the form of poetry as I burry 
it six feet under. 
Then I wake up realizing it
wasn\'t a nightmare. 
Just a memory I experienced
while asleep dramatized.
I resuscitated my own heart.
Each beat a reminder that 
the greatest love is yourself
not another body next to you. 
Another soul can\'t love
you the way you can.
The only love that could
resuscitate my heart.
