My heart, my son

Today, my heart left
Today, my son left
The space in my chest
Empty, like a catacomb
Like a cacoon
Waiting for the butterfly

My heart weeps
A willow tree
A weeping willow tree
I droop in my heart
I sag
In my eyes

I will wait
And soon my heart will be full
Although, to me
An eternity
When my heart fills
The joy will inundate
My sould
