Misplacement Of A Heart

Misplacement Of A Heart

A Poem by MrElbowman
"

Quick jotting downs of a man alone at home.

"
How did I with such ease leave this to you?
This is something I have to ask.
For even now, with so much time passed I am still unsure.
How could I fathom that you, of all people, could love me?
Placing my heart in your hands
Only to see it fall to the ground again and again
You put me through so much and lead me on.
What on this Earth could I have done so wrong?
To deserve this emotional beating
To deserve this gnashing of teeth
To deserve your sick version of "love"

We walked and talked, we laughed and cried.
When you left my side that was when I died.
Inside
Outside
All sides of me wrenched to attention.
My guts exposed to the world.
Tense nerves vibrating at your cold words.
"This Won't Work"
You said with such matter of fact attitude.
No chance to even try.  
No time to even cry.
Nothing.

So that is why I thought
and that is why I fought.
I fought to get better and leave it alone.
Working again to make myself fine on my own.
Misplacement of a heart aside.

Wow, great poem it sure describes emotional feelings, my advice would be to try not to get stuck at those moments and don't let the demon inside her arrest your mind. It is always better not to fall in love with so many persons and to always keep your guard up in all relationships because love is an illusion, we came into this world alone and we go alone
