My Loving Heart

I'd cry for you a million tears,
I'd bleed for you all of my sins,
I'd wait for you a thousand years,
If only you would let me in.

 

My eyes can only see your face,
My ears can only hear your name,
My arms feel only your embrace,
And only you can feed this flame.

 

You ignore me and break my heart,
You never look into my eyes,
You tear my pride and dreams apart,
But only your love can suffice.

 

My mind tells me that I'm a fool
To waste my time in love with you,
But I would drown in hell's own pool
To look at you and be with you.

 

Your guarded heart whispers to me
Of hidden love kept locked away
And I would wait eternally
To feel that love you keep at bay.

 

I know you hurt and hate to feel,
I know you hide behind false strength.
You say you think that love's not real,
Then hide from me by any length.

 

Oh I would cross the barren sands,
Then swim the oceans just to see
Your eyes, your smile, to hold your hands
Everyday, eternally.....

 

Author's Note

oh the heart is a cruel, hellish fire.

You have certainly refined your rhyming and metrical skills. While all verses are evocative of the emotions felt, I find the final three particularly powerful … so much so, they could stand alone most effectively.

Ah the heart.. Cruel and cold on the shoulder of those who yearn for it so. Well done on this one.

Gotta be honest here. In the first few lines I thought this was going to be corny as hell but I continued to read and I'm glad I did, this is fantastic and my theory was way of god thing I don't judge a poem by It's first lines. Great job man.

It's like you get punished for other people's mistakes, the empty seat situation, when you show up to be a rescue they still just can't all the way heal from what already was so many times before. Proving them wrong in the pessimism glory is most difficult.

Makes me think of death

[Miss Marie Riorden.]

Very in depth. Shows how the heart can be manipulated and broken, but it also very sweet in the way it's written. Seems someone is smitten upon someone else in this poem if anything.

I love this one as well by the way.

Losing someone we love makes us feel like love is a untouchable entity..and yet even one single flower can bloom in the midst of barren land..x

This is a smashing poem, I've read it a few times now, and it matures with each read. It has excellent content, showing all the trials of the heart and the flow is effortless. Top draw.
