Only one little soul and little bits of love

Only one little soul has I 
And I--I locked it deep inside 
    So we can all get along 
    And pretend that nothing's wrong.

Only little bits of love have I 
You threw--threw them by the wayside 
    Now replaced with dirt, 
    My little bits of hurt.

Only one little soul had I 
When my--my heart cage opened wide 
   Now rotted to black,
   I'll never get it back.

Only little bits of love had I 
For you--For you they've died 
    Left me hurting all the time

    Pain, all that's left of mine.

'Only little bits of love had I
For you--For you they've died'

lovely light rhyme, fragile, soulful. pain is that sharp edge of sorrow but eventually it goes away. i was saddened by this but it has a lot of beauty to it as well- i enjoyed the poem on your authors page too and noted some similarities between this and that poem. fantastic.

Thank you very much! If I can write poetry that reminds you of Mr. Heine's then I am really flattered!
