A Sinking Heart
  A sinking heart, struggling to come up for air
  Deeper and deeper, to the abyss it goes
  Suffocating, losing consciousness and hope
  For it will never love and be loved
  Or feel that familiar pain again
  The dull aching, the bleeding
  It remembers, but its memory is fading
  The beating slows down, the darkness is welcoming
  It's dying – slowly, steadily
  Patiently waiting for it to be over
  But, there! Something is coming
  A dim light lazily stretching towards its direction
  Growing brighter, brighter
  Until all it sees is the blinding, white light
  There is a chance, after all
  It carefully picks up the heart and carries it upwards
  Seems like hours, days, years pass
  On the surface, the sea is calm, quiet
  The gentle rocking of the waves is soothing
  Healing and mending the drenched heart
  At last, The Ship of Safety sails by
  “A survivor of the wreck”
  “A legend that will live on”
  They restore its liveliness, its spirit
  And the beating of the heart matches the beating of the drums
