I was digging in the dirt
At the side of a leaf-strewn riverbed
Searching for something I lost.
It’s hard to miss the purpose in life
When someone goes and leaves a hole
Shaped like a broken heart
In your already shattered world.
But l know redemption is here somewhere.
So l continue to dig
By the side of the leaf-clogged river.
It’s flowing past me so fast
The scree creeps closer to me
I only have a little time left to find you.
God buried you here
For me to find.
You’re shaped like a pink, bloody heart
But not broken yet.
You’re whole
And finding you
Will make me whole again.
So l dig faster.
By this river
Full of dying leaves.
Until finally
You are revealed to me.
And what a jewel you are.
