Heartbreak

For Makyo.  
  
Today my heart broke for a friend  
for one I care for deeply  
one who struggles with bitter curse  
one that would end her cheaply.  
  
My heart, thus broken, sang and wept  
for deep depression's mire  
for manic impulse, shattered mind,  
that seeks the garrote wire.  
  
But this I know, and this I seek  
the heart behind the pain,  
that brilliant shining wondrous light  
that crystal without stain.  
  
For in her heart, and in her mind  
there lives a greater beauty  
than all the world itself yet knows  
though her pain keens acutely.  
  
I know not future, know not past,  
yet this, at last I know.  
This fox with shining purple hair,  
she must not ever go.  
  
For in this world there are too few  
too few hearts yet so fine  
and it would break my heart and yours  
if hers no longer shined. \>.\<
