Hidden Hearts...

Heart Broken...

Hidden Hearts...

When our hearts have been broken,
lied to, ripped out, stomped on and
have been taken advantage of,

Our natural defense is to tuck our hearts in and hide
them from the world, While we hide our hearts
from the world, the chance of rebuilding them
with the glory of love passes by day in and day out,
like a fair breeze on a warm spring day,

As time comes and goes as fast as lighting
in a storm, our hearts begin to wilt like a rose,
without sunlight, no light which leads to no hope,
which leads to no life,

By hiding our hearts, we are essentially killing
them with a slow painful, unloved death,
Because we are terrified to let them see the light of
day, knowing that pain our hearts suffered could happen again,

Hiding our hearts is not the answer, to a happy
healthy heart, and the safety we think we're providing
is not safe at all, our hearts need to love and be loved,
and hiding away in some dark spot, certainly isn't
allowing our hearts the joy and love they need and desire,

We have to once again become vulnerable,
and take a chance at love, we can't keep
our hearts hidden forever...

jt, this is a poem to live by! oddly enough i have been talking a lot about this exact point with a close friend of mine. she's in the suffering part of searching for love and is starting to feel hopeless and emotionally reclusive. i remind her of how truly nourishing love is to the body and soul, and how the good far outweighs the bad, that true love for an instant is worth the effort and risk! it's a state of being that satisfies everything we humans crave so bad, a sense of purpose, to give and receive the joy that makes life seem... not so dismal and alone.

Your writing has a tendency to be very good and moving, but this piece is the best I've read so far! My heart grew with each line, and each stanza, until the end where i found myself smiling, happy, and relieved to know there are others out there who know the value of love.

thank you for this positive moment of time :D

What are we willing to risk to love again? Exposer of our imperfections? The fact that we just might be human? Your last passage says it all. We can become isolationist, protectionist and self absorbed, but to or don't grant ourselves permission to see that the world continues to take its course whether we choose to be a part of it or not. At least with our involvement we can be that needed change agent. Good write Jamestown!

Of course, love is the nourishment that a heart needs.
A malnourished heart cannot thrive. Very good.

hi JT - Im not trying to deliberately be cryptic but I am watching this one with great interest. I am watching the responses and I'll review my findings later along with a proper review. i just want to let you know I got the RR. :)

[Jamestown]

Gotcha:) b-blessed!

Wow... This is fantastic, very true, very moving. We do hide our hearts from love every now and then, some people do it more than others. We think, by hiding our heart we are allowing it to heal itself, but the truth is only another heart can heal a bleeding heart.
Loved it.
