My Heart

My Heart

 

It’s just a small thing, it doesn't take up much room.

In truth if I had to give it up I might for its lack of use.

 

It has caused me such sorrow, it has controlled the way I think.

In truth it is beating but won’t say a thing.

 

If I could live without it I might give it a try.

But it beats quietly and sometimes makes me cry.

 

It’s just a small thing really it is.

Not many noticed it, (I don’t think many will.)

 

Don’t get me wrong there are times it makes me happy.

But the pain it makes me feel over shadows the times it has not.

 

It beats to it’s own tune, and won’t listen to my thoughts.

Some times I wish it would just stop beating some nights.

 

So there it is my little beating heart.

Maybe I need a new one to start.

You never fail to impress me, ron. Your pieces have so much truth, and yet they are so simple.
As always, VERY well done :)

[ron]

Thank you LILY, you are very kind :)

Let me know if you find a new one...the pain of love really smarts sometimes, it takes us to the highest highs and the lowest lows....nothing perfect about matters of the heart....

Thank you Frieda. I fear I have but one heart, it is torn and shattered, so I must try to fix it from time to time.

[Frieda P]

Ditto on that, sigh....at least we get some poetry out of the deal............

[ron]

If truth be told, I wish there were some other way but in the end I believe that it is a fair price to pay for poetry.

[Frieda P]

Fair...? Hardly.

[ron]

OK so maybe not fair, but if I look at it any different it might be to much to bare.
