Fanwork Notes
I'd like to give a shout out to timelessutterances and her work The Dreamships, which inspired me to take up my own quill and jot down this humble verse.
Song for a Heartsick Soul
Read Song for a Heartsick Soul
I long to take myself apart
‘Neath flesh what lies beneath?
Black as mire? Or gold yet hides,
Deep in that secret place?
Once a heart lay singing there
Pure life, and wonder and light
Its sanguine beat I fear has ceased
Ash its sole remains
Yet I prick and burn with shame
Perhaps a small and flick’ring flame
Yet in that secret place remains
And I am not yet all decay.
