How to Tear A Heart Apart


A long time ago
in a far away land
that doesn't seem to exist anymore,
a man loved a woman
from a far away shore;
it was easy for him
to give her all of his heart
and he sincerely hoped
they would never part,
but they did; it was her choice
and I'm not complaining
I'm only explaining
that you have to be careful
where, when, how and to whom
you give your heart,
cause if they don't respond in kind
it could tear you apart.

Your words are well assembled James, but I still believe its worth the risk. 'Nothing ventured nothing gained', as the poets' say.

More feelings and fewer words please

Ah, the heart has a will of its own, truly,  no matter how carefully one treads.  But then, if we could truly tame it, how much would that diminish the prize.  I think it worth the risk, as is.  just my two cents.

I agree that love is worth the risk James!

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.

Thank you Ari, Michael and Days of View for the nice response...indeed it is a risk...one that sometimes you can't seem to
avoid taking...james
