A Day at the Winery

A poem

By Connor StermerPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Scarred hearts meet in an unlikely place. Whose pain was worse? Is the dagger still buried deep in yours or has it just not healed yet? Did it break your heart for good, or can I mend your broken heart? Love brings out the absolute best and worst of us. So far, I've seen smiles and joy as if the sun has never stopped shining and not even a single raindrop on the horizon could ruin your happiness. Is this genuine, or is your mask firmly glued so tightly that not a soul will ever know the truth? Are you happy? Are you happy with me? Are you happy with yourself? Do you drown your sorrows in the bottle as a way to forget? Do you drink to numb the pain? Does the world make you feel hopeless and lost as if you'll never find the way out? Let me be your guide. Take my hand and hold on tight as I whisk you away from the melancholy feeling you call life. Let me give you what you have been craving your entire life. Don't let go and fall deeper into the abyss and let the darkness overtake you. Allow me to show you the light, the joy, the happiness that your heart has been yearning for all these years. Let me show you what it is like to be truly loved. All I have to say to you is this...

If scarred hearts meet in an unlikely place and you find the love that will truly mend your broken heart, will you heal mine too, or crush it?
