If home is where your heart is
what happens to a homeless heart
whose situation is heartbreaking?
Heartless are the actions of those
who have caused such heartfelt sorrow
and should indulge in some heartsearching
to mitigate this heartrending state of things
saving the wanderers great heartache.
Otherwise a homeless heart might cease
to have a heartbeat and become fatally heartsick.
A devastating truth. I think "heartstrings" is a very real notion, and hence a word. And your poem does touch them.
Thank you ?

Thanks Jason and Martin! The homeless really touch my heartstrings (if that word exists!), especially in the winter. You feel guilty about having a warm comfortable home to return to.

The word heart bears repetition as its so universal in its appeal Jennifer. This works well, and reveals the power of sympathy.
Homelessness is akin to statelessness, and they often combine forces. There are some who shrug off this tragedy citing social care as a palliative. It is certainly an embarrassment to all of us, as we might feel threatened by the gulf it presents us with.
