Don't Touch My Heart! (Biting the bullet)

entry picture

 

Don’t touch my heart!

It is broken.

There is no love in it.

I have closed it.

No one cares to see it bleeding,

no one knows its needing.

Love bullet crashed it in pieces,

but I will never fall on my knees.

My heart is not feigning,

the scars are still paining,

but I will never cry,

I will never stand a lie.

There is no love in my heart,

but there is a hope for a new start.

Hi Larisa! I like the honesty and the hope despite the disappointment expressed. The heart is of course really our private feelings and sometimes we show them and sometimes we don't - but we can still write about them and this is touchingly done here! x
