A message from your heart

Inspired from the song with the same title.

Maybe it was simple at the time,

For time works in mysterious ways.

It seems to know better even when it is unjust,

And all you have to do is trust it.

Since when was that easy?

Since when was that fair?

Since when was it ever in favor of me?

 

Playing silly games won’t help us now,

Because I’m ripping my stitches apart for you!

Because love was not meant to hurt,

But charity cases were so overrated.

So I decided for a second glance

At a broken watch with a date set,

And what can I say aside from… you’re late.

 

Why must we sit here together,

The dark engulfs us so completely within its icy grip,

And I can hear his voice singing in your head

Cuss words of an overused mind.

What is there to say? What is there to do?

I sit in this cage, ripping out stitches,

Fighting for an answer… being ripped apart…

This is me, your most forgiving body part.

It is amazing a heart just does not quit on us. A most unenviable job. You have wonderfully crafted a mirror we all can use to see into our hearts and realize our folly. I really see nothing to change or any "gotchas" to fix. In the spirit of always wanting to improve, think about rewording "And all you have to do is trust it." to something like "and trust is all I ever ask of you." I see the tense change in the first stanza and assume you intend it, if so my recommendation will mess with that some but it will break the quasi end rhyme between unjust and trust.

I know I am picking the fly S___ out of the pepper. It really does not need the change to work, just a thought.

Wow the emotional power in this piece is superb... yes the heart is the most forgiving body part as we allow love to take us over time and time again no matter how much it hurts us... This shows your deepest feelings and for that I applaud you.

Wow, I like this.
I really don't think we do give our hearts enough credit for what we make them go through sometimes.
