He dreamed he saw heartbreaks all over the world
rising up to heaven spirit-like, bleeding
and shaped like cotton candy
he saw countless angel-like beings catching the
heartbreaks as they reached heaven
they were repairing the broken hearts
he saw most of the repairs were successful
but some were not
and tears fell from the angel-like beings for those
whose hearts they couldn’t repair
somehow he knew those were the hearts of
the brokenhearted who were going to kill themselves
he hoped there were angel-like beings to heal
them when they left this life
he woke up from the dream feeling better than
he had for months
and he knew his broken heart had been mended.
