My heart

 

All I wanted was someone

To know,

To hold,

To cherish,

To love

 

I tried

Yes, I did

God knows I tried

 

But then I started seeing her

And I wasn’t interesting enough for her

How boring I must have been

 

Then I started seeing her

And I wasn’t strong enough for her

How weak I must have been

 

Then I started seeing her

And I wasn’t handsome enough for her

How ugly I must have been

 

Then I started seeing her

And I wasn’t stylish enough for her

How old fashioned I must have been

 

Then I started seeing her

And I wasn’t fast enough for her

How slow I must have been

 

Then I started seeing her

And I wasn’t good enough for her

How bad I must have been

 

Then I started seeing her

And I wasn’t man enough for her

How womanly I must have been

 

Then I started seeing her

And I wasn’t rich enough for her

How poor I must have been

 

So she dumped me in a blink

Without a moment’s thought

Without a drop of goodbye

 

Inappropriate

Inadequate

Incompetent

How perfect they must have been

 

Now drained of energy,

Lost for words,

Tired of the hunt,

I must find my peace

 

Doesn’t anyone believe in love anymore?

Does no one cherish the little things in life anymore?

A flower,

A hug,

A kiss,

A companion

What more could one want?

 

But then I can see it

Knowing it all the time

I can feel it

Wanting it all the time

But ever failing to accept it

Yes, my love shall be for a woman

But my heart

That I can never give to a woman

 

For my heart is all I have

Break it up into pieces and I have nothing left

Tare it up into shreds and I am nothing more

 

But it’s honest,

Gentle,

Loving,

And caring

If treated nicely it can bring a smile on anyone’s face

But if treated spitefully it can bring so much misery and sadness

What more do I have to offer but my heart?

 

Sometimes all I want is to be held

Told that everything is going to be aright

Comforted in the storms

Touched

Embraced

 

Not being left out in the cold

Not being rubbished for petty pride

 

Is that too much to ask for?

Is that so hard to imagine?

Could such a man exist?

I can empathize so much with this. You will find this solace one day I hope and pray
