My Heart!

Keep my heart safe..

I hate when you whisper in my ear

The three letter word

‘I love you’

Those words mean nothing

‘Cos they don’t resonate in your actions

Stop that futile spree.

If you really love me

And if you really think that you are the one

I have already given you my heart

Please keep it safe

Don’t let it toss and turn

‘Cos it holds my life

Every breath I take is now in your hands

With every reckless move you make

It gets me hurt.

Let that filthy demon not pave your path

Where you take my heart along with you

To this perilous desolate

Space of despair

Feel my pain

Please refrain

Un-friend the demons

Be yourself.

*whispers in your ear* "I Love You!!" What a silly and emotional trap that sometimes feels born of selfish tendencies and the need to belong to anything when we say those words. : ) I Love You!! From the very age of a tender one we know, we are taught and shown how and what an expression looking back, looks like when we SAY those words that manipulate moods and smiles on even a stranger's face. I Love You!! When the end is as swift and unpredictable as its start, it is certainly a blame that borrows on that of confidence that eludes us, and a "practice" that if we somehow got GOOD at saying it, that it would be better recognized as sincere and truthful...... I Love You!! Great poem; a lot of fun. ; ) xoxo -Your Mark

I must commend you for writing this. There are many who have a wall up and though they say they love you they shall never commit till they have worked thru their past demons. A sufferer speaks. Thanx for sharing!

Thank you for reading Divya and thank you for your kind words :)

Amazing! The true story of love. The heart can be so fragile and so it requires such safety matters. I sense mixed emotions, anger towards the other , yet also love, and it empowers the poem . You descrive 2 duties of the other side: 1) Don't take love for granted - defend it harder everyday(!) . 2) get rid of things that can hurt it.
These 2 duties collide into this request of "be yourself"," the person I trust my heart with" .

To sum it up, I love it!

Some words should never be spoken in lie or tale. Can make someone have great pain. I like the desire and the purpose of the poem. You led the reader on a journey of real emotion with a logical ending. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Sounds like someone desperately in love who's been hurt badly before.

"let that filthy demon not pave your path'...that should be on a t-shirt when we begin dating someone..

'three letter word'?
