A Tour of My Heart...

Forgive the self-indulgence. It's just what I'm thinking right now.

 

Imperfect… immature. Selfish, trusting and needy…

This is how I came into the world. This is how it began.

 

I needed love. I didn’t know what love was.

The very one I knew to seek love from…

Had no earthly idea how to give it

So, I was… Rejected.

Alone.

 

What’s a small town boy know about love? What does anyone know?

Do they really care?

Me? I Care!

I Care deeply.

I know how it feels and I still feel the pain.

My heart breaks for loneliness!

My loneliness cries in groans too deep to…

Knowledge.

If I had known then just what I know now

Would it make any difference? Would it all change somehow?

As if by some magic, some spoken word

I could make it all better… Make right the absurd

 

And so I stand hoping my struggle within

Becomes something more than this mess I am in

And I become less so that you become strong

That my life is much more than a verse in a song

That when it is sung and my song is through

That all I have done points right back…

 

To You.

Make right the absurd

And so I stand hoping my struggle within
Becomes something more than this mess I am in
And I become less so that you become strong
That my life is much more than a verse in a song
That when it is sung and my song is through
That all I have done points right back�
To You.

this is incredibley heartfelt
and what makes this masterful poem for me is this
the voice in the poem
the reader feels every emotion, every bit of loneliness
transcribed to heightened effect, the wording is touching
and brings ones thoughts to the moment
of surrender. with design
the passionate form encapsulates
the essence of the meaning
Timeless!!

This tugs at the old heart strings. I feel emptyness and great sadness when I read it.
Your writing has great delpth and is always filled with such raw emotions that it wash's the soul in whatever mood you are writing in.
You have a great gift of being able to relate your feelings.
