Can you love my
second hand heart?
The original owner
took it apart.

Now it won't go together
the way that it should
And it doesn't work all that good.

Can you trust
it to be true?
Even if at first
it didn't belong to you?

Can you make it
to be your own?
Take it to the place
you call home.

Twisted and dented,
but only slightly used.
Never intended for it
to be abused.

I hope you got
the best deal that you could.
Even if it doesn't
work like it should.

Take me with you
it'll work just fine.
You'LL get a bargin
in all that is mine.....

Second hand does not always mean second best. You, as well as I, may remember a Sandy heart that we felt was ripe for the picking. If only the chance was given....Nice work!

I think Sash said it perfectly - "Second hand doesn't mean second best."

Interesting poem here - though the thought's not new, this was stiff fresh - and no less true - I think many of us suffer the curse of a second hand heart.

Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream up
A man that understands real love"
