Poisonous Heart

Emotions are a terrible tyrant

Heart of mine cease your incesant cries

now that the fire of love is past

the cold settles in

you begin your never ending

chattering

shivering

blabbering

it is getting to me.

 

Be quiet

I need to think

so long as you continue

I can't hear with your cacophany of whining.

 

I cringe and wince at your weakness

over what, love?

no

never.

 

You were the one that got me into this mess

now go to sleep

I will build the callus

I will harden you

no good is what you are

bit and bridle would be the best to still your voice

you foolish thing.

 

O heart of mine why must you care so

senseless it was

to drop your sheild

don't you remember the past

where we’ve been

idiot and a fool is what you are

no more with love I say

it is a poisonous emotion

that invites a cancer into the soul

The past is the past, we should let it go, I know it makes us who we are today, but we don't have to live there. One should live for today. Life is amazing. It's all in how you look at each day. Wonderful write.

I've been around for quite a while in this world. I've learn to accept things the way they are. You can't change things no matter how hard you try. Have a good day sir.
