Heart on the Sleeve

Heart on the Sleeve

A Poem by Ben LR
"

Wrote this about someone I know.

"

The heart rests on the sleeves,

Believe me, its not where its meant to be.


Stay guarded and protect it,

It should rest beneath where your chest is.


But, I can’t help it.

Helpless, if you would.


Maybe, if I keep it here by my hands,

Someone could rush to hold it and place it back where it stands.


Hoping one day someone will give me a chance.

But, I’m lost to understand the importance of romance.


I’ve loved before, more times than I thought.

An old school romantic is what I brought.


Looking back now, 

Seeing the same conclusion.


Of how you and I began our story,

And ended with a seperate illusion.


Our minds made up a decision,

To end something far from just a commitment.


Years that have passed, your heart has stayed true.

I’m sorry to say this, but I’m still in love with you.

oftentimes people
wear their hearts
on their sleeves
they just can't hide
their feelings of love
for another..you pour
your heart out in this
one. for that special
someone..only its
sad when the other
has moved on..

nice work
