Will it let the heart feel again?
So cold to the touch now
As if hiding in its own armor
An armor so strong that nothing could penetrate
Left wounded by that sword with a double edge
No matter which way it was placed
It was bound to cut deep
I wasn't careful
I was carefree.... what a mistake
I should have know better
Yet I don't regret
Even though that double edge cut so deep
That now the heart hides in an armor of steel
With a promise to never feel again

A fine write about the darker side of love.

oh no, to feel never again would really be a pity!!

... but right now I understand the wound is too fresh ... it will heal.

Beautiful in its deep melancholy.

Love,

Thank you so much my fellow poets... greatly appreciate all of your words!

To never feel again is a sad thought, but the heart's wounds are severe.... hard to say if it will ever love the same, but one thing it will always have is that love for life, that keeps us all strong and sane... and able to see beauty even if the heart aches...

I think a good test of a relationship is to think about whether you are crying more than you are laughing. If you spend more time crying and feeling sad, something is wrong. There is someone out there who will love you truly and bring you joy. Best to
find them. Life passes quickly.
