a backpack heart

a backpack heart

it never gets settled

it never stays

cross its path

and you might sink in its warm waters

but don't get too comfortable

because it never lasts

it may carry you far

but the rest is up too you

a backpack heart

I touched it before

it brought me joy

it soothed my haggard soul

it gave me what I wanted

and then it set a new trail

a new journey to explore

another quest

another strange love

to settle for a backpack heart

will cause you pain

but to love it

and release it

that will make you whole

what do you choose to do?
