Whispering Heart

The words of a whispering heart,

they'll never be heard.

You see, no one ever speaks

the words of love.

They speak the words of a

loud mouth mind.

 

 

The words between

and heart and mind

are very different.

 

 

You see the person you once loved.

Your mind says 'hey'

but your heart says

'I still love you, be mine again, please?'

 

 

As you grow up,

you learn how to ignore your heart

and keep it under control.

It gets less difficult

the more you do it.

 

I'm a teenager,

thought I was in love once over..

realized it wasn't true love,

but just a passing by heartache.

 

 

I believe that love takes time to develop.

It takes years.. Not months.

My opinion differs to others

but 'tis what I believe.

 

People get hurt through love.

When they choose to ignore the mind

and listen to the heart.

Some times it's a good idea,

but not always.

 

Anyway, to conclude my poetic lecture..

 

Put a balance between your heart and mind.

Or suffer the consequence of loving too much,

or not loving at all.

I love the message within the poem. I agree with this poem...because true love doesn't happened like that...it takes time for someone to develop love...most of what your heart is saying is that it's puppy love...and I believe that it is...and the poem is just truthful. You do need to balance your life. Thanks for sharing.

A simple message clearly conveyed. A wonderfully insightful piece.
Just one little thing, I would recommend changing the "'tis" in the line "'tis what I believe" to me it feels like too much of an attempt to be poetic; and also rather random as it doesn't occur anywhere else in the poem. You don't need it, just an ordinary 'it's' works perfectly well because the message of the poem and the way you've written speaks entirely for itself.
But these are just my opinions feel free to ignore lol It is a great piece of writing :)

I believe with old age. The understanding of love changes. Real love is for a wife of many years. For your children and family. Young love is different. Passion and desire can make you happy for a time. Real test of love is time and being able to forgive error and mistake. I like your logic on love. I believe better to be kind and try to keep negative away from the people we love and care for. Thank you for a outstanding poem. You made me think.
