My heart aches and bleeds
Filled with overwhelming need
No one is here to see
What’s become of me

The agony of its beat
Makes my mind retreat
Buried inside my chest
Forever laid to rest

Never to be filled with emotion
Or love’s tender devotion
All that’s left is black
And a list of things I lack

For who would want my heart
After it’s fallen completely apart
It was thrown carelessly aside
As it lost all sense of pride

So here I sit alone
My heart as hard as stone
No one is here to see
What’s become of me

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have found your heart
please take it and care for it
your heart is lovely
please love yourself evermore
then others will love you too

Oh, I feel the pain in this, perhaps because this echoes my emotions as well.  A powerful write.  Your heart's not broken, just bruised, and I hope that in time, it will heal, you just need a bandaid of love  



Take care,
Melissa~

Oh, a sad rendition of lost love. I hope you feel better soon, if this is about you.
Take care.

Interloper: Aw, you are very sweet.  Thank you much for your kind words.  

Melissa: I'm sorry you relate to this.  We all get bruised from time to time, but it always heals.  Thanks for the bandaid!

Sandra: Just some feelings inside finally coming out.  Writing is soothes the soul by freeing it I think.  Sometimes though you have to see where you have been in order to see where you need to be.  Thank you!

Dear Lonewolf,
        Alas, it ends like this. And it truly sear my heart to realize your dilemma.
        I just want you to know, let not this experince make the worse of you. Instead, take it as a challenge that you'll be a better lover next time.
        Revenge is sweet and I know you know what I mean...

the heart is an organ of fire...

Lone Wolf, hearts do mend eventually. I loved this beautiful, sad poem.

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...

Ahh, LW, Now weren't you always told to believe your elders?, So take it from an elder..very gentle smile..if it hurts, it isn't broken..and put the balm of the light of love back on it, and it will heal..trust me, for the fires do cauterize open wounds and heal

This has a sad message, but I think we often need to see ourselves clearly before anyone else will.   DUH!   I meant say I loved it.   I did yanno!
