silly heart

hearts source of pain

My heart
You have been
The source of every pain
That ever has happened to me
Why are  you belonging to her,
although you are living inside me,
Or, at least, you are supposed to be!
I will no longer let you out of my control
I will never love anyone you tell me you feel
you have to obey my laws, to follow my rules
if you  feel you can't, leave me
I can live without heart,
 but cant without dignity.
If you are to leave,
 leave me quietly
 seek another body
so you can freely
do your silly deeds
as you used
to do with me

I love the angle of having a good talking-to with your heart. Emotions make us do "silly" things sometimes. I did think the poem was concrete at first so it through me off a little bit.

This is really good. I so love the structure. :)
"I can live without heart,
but cant without dignity."

if only we could tell our hearts what to feel! this is a beautiful, well written piece that addresses a feeling so many of us have had, especially after heartbreak. i love how you've composed this, it reminds me of both sandra cicneros and it sort of hearkens to classic odes. i really really enjoyed this. thank you.

Agree with the author's note! Haha! XD
Totally...But anyway, although sometimes our hearts give us so much pain, it also gives happiness in it's own magical way...
The poem is quite poignant but I enjoyed it...Great work...

Mmmmm, the heart may be silly sometimes. It turns us into slaves and fools. Its good you are reading it the Riot Act!
But hey,wait, doesn't it also helps us experience and enjoy wonderful and beautiful feelings?
Anyway, this was a wonderful piece Khalid, keep it up man!
Thanks for sharing.

Nicely said. The heart is the hardest working muscle in the body, and sometimes gets deleriously tired, and silly. Rest is then the best thing. Rest between bouts of love is most important given the nature of the heart's work. Thanks for this inspirational write that makes me think, puts my brain to work. Well written.
