Never to broken again.

The heart is a funny thing. Loved or broken, it rules all the same

Torn

Shredded

You left it in ruins

Was it conquest you craved?

Laughter you sought?

Moments of grandeur

For that's all you bought.

 

Take away all your pain

Take the moments of trust

Far away I so wish you

Go away if you must.

 

The heart is a gift

Treasured and kept

Not a token to toss

Not a thing to soon regret.

 

So goodbye my lover

So long my friend

Take care my sweet thing

Fly away to your den.

 

Of lies and deceit

Of things you alone kept

Of your heart so cold

That I alone wept.

 

Fear not, I shall do well

Rest easy, I shall find my way

For the sun shall come up

Once again a new day.

 

So goodbye my lover

So long my friend

Take care my sweet thing

Fly away to your den.

 

For the heart is a rare thing

Never to broken again.

The poem told a story of sadness and disappointment. I like the ending. Accepting a goodbye and trying to find some sort of peace allow the heart to heal. A sad ending. When the heart fade away to nothing. Ain't much is left over. A excellent poem.

Let me sum this up with three words; I love this!
Such a poignant piece of artistry captured so
positively...Nicely done...

Yeah, that long goodbye that you never quite wanna make to someone who deserves less than that.
It almost extends to the point where the audience is anxious for the goodbye to end, but not the poem. This is a s**t road that's paved with broken glass that we've all had to roll around in at some point.

Nicely done

the heart is indeed a strange thing!! there is a strong poignance dotted around here which makes it sad - but it's very well written!! and I do like the rhyme scheme - it's nice and subtle so makes the rhymes more natural and roll off the tongue!! very nice!!!

There is pain in this but also a feeling of acceptance in the last two lines as if the person has been hurt but now has become reconciled to that and is saying never again. Brillinat.

WOW that one was deep but I have been there myself and I always say I'll never go back......smiles. Anyway I loved it and I'm glad you share a little of your heart with us.
