Heavy Heart

Heavy heart, With wings wanting to fly. It can't fly, no matter how hard to tries. He disappointed it, not showing up. She was too tired. The oldest was in charge, needing help. The youngest always fought. Heavy heart, Took care of the animals so they didn't have to. Comforted them, kept them alive. Then he sent them away. New families and homes. Another fail, each time. The blame on the heart. Heavy heart, Lost so much, Worked so hard. A break deserved but nonexistent. Wants help but can't call for it. Fearing the burden it'll become. Forgetting the burden it endured. Heavy heart.
