DESOLATE HEART

Oh my desolate heart
Listen to what I say
Do not oh do not stay
Where you are not content

Who will feel your pain
Who do you cry with
There is but no one for you
In this foriegn land
and its unknown people

Oh my desolate heart
Listen to what I say
Do not oh do not stay
Where you are not content

Do not spread your arms for love
They will give you nothing
Do not lose sleep over it
For they have nothing to give you.

Oh my desolate heart
Listen to what I say
Do not oh do not stay
Where you are not content

Powerful poem here.

Sometimes I believe we can control our own hearts better than we know.

Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau"

Our hearts often betray us by insisting on staying where happiness can't be found. I read this as a forlorn plea to oneself.
