My Tired Heart

Frank Sinatra - I've got you under my skin, starts to play.  

As we slow dance into infinity,

I look into your eyes and realize they're my favorite color.

I shake my head and close my eyes. 

Suddenly it all made sense. 

When my eyes met his, 

I realized that forever was never going to be enough with him. 

As I open them up I realize I'm alone in the dark. 

It's always about you, you know.  

The daydreams, a hundred tiny daydreams about you, about us. 

I find myself getting lost with you in a world that doesn't even exist. 

You're everything to me, the only star that remains brighter than others.  

Being without you is pure darkness,

I suppose it will all make sense someday.  

My intuition is telling me there will be better days.

Until then I will keep on dancing, perfecting my curves and moves. 

Hear me, my tired heart, 

Some things never change and that's the beauty of the world.

After all it's true, I've got you under my skin.

After reading this I felt the gloom for days. Longing for that someone made my heart felt tired like losing a strength to carry on. I accepted it, somethings can't never be erase or change it will only fade away, It will fade away. Very well written Gullia King this took me awhile to give a review.

[Giulia King]

I'm happy that you like my poem :) Thank you very much!

[YanZeros]

Sinatra always makes it better.
This piece is rich in imagery, and speaks to the 'tired heart' in us all. Nicely done.

[Giulia King]

He really does!
Thank you for reading :)

"Hear me, my tired heart,
Some things never change and that's the beauty of the world."
Accepting that some things never change is the most difficult part, I think.. I wonder if it's a beauty of the world or a curse for us to bear.... Again, my thoughts ;) Loved the feel of this one! It has got a soothing quality to it, which I definitely felt if not the others.. Good work :)

[Giulia King]

If you don't want something to change, and it doesn't, then I think you're the most luckiest person in the world. But for some people, things do change and that's their curse.
Thank you Yumna! :)

Perspective 😉
You are welcome, Gullia ☺

Funny how listening to certain kinds of music or singers we can drift off into another existence while that tune is playing. Valentine

I love it! Thank you Kathie x

There is something undeniably romantic about stars...definitely a magic about this. Passion filled writing. Starz x

*a tiny edit suggestion - line 3 'their' should be 'they're'

[Giulia King]

There's something magical about stars :) Thank you for reading Starz, always appreciated x

[FIN]

I'm always inspired by the theme of the universe and stars when used in poetry and prose and you've captured something beautiful here.

Gave me chills.

[Giulia King]

I'm inspired of that too! There's something magical about the universe and stars :) I feel like I can write endless poems about it and never get tired. Thank you :)

Romantic, passionate and heartfelt. Has a starry, endearing feeling woven throughout the wordplay!

[Giulia King]
