I Need a New Heart

Dear Someone,

I need a new heart. Who wants to trade? Anyone?
Make sure your heart is not fragile. 

'Cause I'm going to take it to a very dangerous place.
A place where, once enter, we will never be the same person any more. 

A place that will completely change you, and alter your perception. 

Maybe even your reality. 

A place that is invisible to some people's eyes..
And a place that is chosen to be ignored by the others.
Why do I need a new heart? because a heart like mine can't make the journey. 

I can try, but I'll perish on the way. It is not strong enough.
It's cracked. It's burned. Almost broken. It's useless.

It might not be a fair trade. But if you think you're better off having a broken heart, then take it. 

And give me yours.

I'm tired of being empty. Maybe you'd like to feel something else for a change?
I know. This all sound like a huge risk.; if you ever decide to trade that is.
But if you fear all that I have said, then I guess I have to offer you another deal.
I keep my heart. And you keep yours. 

But I am truly desperate for a strong one. 

Therefore, would you be so kind as to accompany me on my journey?
You would only have to watch over me. Protect me. Hold me. 

Whenever my dying heart fails.
And you would have to tell me stories. 

Stories of your glory. Your strength. So that I can borrow it.
So that I can bury it in my heart, and make it strong like yours. 

I promise, that is all you would have to do.
If you ever decide to keep me company that is. 

Think about it. And let me know. Until then, best of life, I wish for you.

Sincerely, 

I.A.
