Heart, Come Home

Missing: Heart

I declare; my heart is missing
Look to those with the good looking souls
For I may have left it with them
Though the world be cruel,
I lend my heart to any who may need it
Sometimes I get it back torn & bruised
Time & gentle care help nurse it back
This time I gave more then I had
Now paying the ultimate price
I desire my heart to come back
So when they come to my door
I can greet them and bid them in with open arms
Nay, I now hide & dream of my hearts return
For now I may remain a cold heartless vessel

Hey, good job on this one. I can really relate to it. A lot of my old friends aren't around anymore and sometimes I feel similar to what you're expressing here. As if my hearts with them and now, it prevents me from opening up to others. It's a very real feeling that you have portrayed very well. Thanks for the share.

Well written and beautiful. Like always your lines are as sincere as it can get. I really loved the closing lines of the poem:
desire my heart to come back
So when they come to my door
I can greet them and bid them in with open arms
Nay, I now hide & dream of my hearts return
For now I may remain a cold heartless vessel
Absolutely fantastic! Well done and keep on writing.

Well, Daphnee, it is a very good poem. The opening line brought a big smile on my face and the rest of the poem did justice to it.
