A Lonely Heart

I have a heart,

Which causes pain

It keeps me alive,

it shall become the bane

of my existence...

As I follow this heart,

I become a broken soldier

Never to reach happiness

Destined to never hold her

And it keeps me alive,

the hope, the faith in myself

While other times, I feel down

As if my slowly beating heart

Should remain upon a shelf

Collecting dust as I wait,

waiting for the ideal moment

To tell you how I feel,

to express my inner pain

But that will never happen

For my days are numbered

I can only hope, that you, my love,

will always keep me in memory

And that you will always remember...

I have a lonely heart

I know I truly do

And I sincerely believe

That you may have one, too

Emotions and memories are definitely the first things that come to mind when I had read this poem. :)

Loneliness is a sorrow that knows no bounds. It just makes one feel empty and the void within him keeps expanding... engulfing everything...! Beautifully written. The sorrow and gloom of the poem is beautifully narrated. Keep up the good work!

I love this one the most Brian. A lonely heart can be the biggest sorrow in life. But then if one does now how the other heart feels......that is also a reason of pain. God! I wish I could have the sense of writing poetry like you, with such feelings.

This perfectly describes how I feel. The fact that you don't know if they'll always remember; that they might move on before you, is frightening. This is one of my favorites because it is not super confusing, and I actually relate to this.

A heart is a terrible thing to waste, but it's a terrible thing to throw away too.
Sometimes it's just in the timing I guess. Good poem, Brian.
