Strike by a bloody arrow

A lonesome heart  was walking in the street trying to find a way to unwind. She met an arrow, wounded and full of blood. The heart got curious and feel pity for the arrow, so she tried to approach him. Then arrow said “I’m afraid to cross the street”. Without hesitation heart offered arrow a help. Later on, the two got engaged into conversation and arrow started to open up to heart. Heart realized that arrow was not just hurt but a broken pieces of arrow too. Days went by and they got closer and closer to each other. They seemed to get along pretty well. Both were sharing delighted moments, exciting thoughts, like they've been friends for a long time. A sudden gaiety and excitement they felt whenever they were together. Heart no longer felt solitary but the next thing she knew, she was struck by the arrow. It was distressing but she endured the pain.  

 

One day, heart woke up full of blood and was wounded. She felt appalled and bewildered. When she looked into the mirror, a mark of the arrow left her. A mark that was too deep which made her almost shattered. She tried to find arrow in every corner of the street where they first met but ended up nothing.

 

Heart was ready to give up, she thought of ending up her every beat but a merciful hand picked her up. A hand full of compassion and lenience picked her up. Wiped the blood all over her and made her whole again. Heart expressed her utmost gratitude to the hand who cured and helped bring back her normal beating. Only then she realized, she had to move forward.

 

When heart stared back into the mirror, the only thing remained were scars. Scars that made her impregnable. Heart faced the future without any trace of remorse, mistakes and melancholy. She knew at some point she was given a choice and she chose to be hurt than feel nothing at all. She has learned to forgive herself. Most significantly, she forgave arrow and still wished him the best of luck. Heart knew her every beat is counted and keeping resentment is just a waste of time.
