Heart under Glass

Heart under Glass

 

I sit and wonder.

Have I done something so horrible to another?

 

My heart is not my own.

It belongs to the one that can carry it home.

 

Under a sliver of glass, it waits.

It is not on display for the world to see.

 

It sits there beating slowly, helplessly, painfully.

Wishing to be loved again.

 

Caught and suspended in time.

It remembers faintly, of a time when it was mine.

One if these days I will be first here lol... I love this line Ron..
"It remembers faintly, of a time when it was mine." very emotional for me to read this line because I understand how that feels. Wasn't it only yesterday you could feel , I mean really feel and she was there with you in all of those feelings. I don't fully know your situation but I know there is usually a cooling period after awhile.. The seven year itch some call it.... You have to decide if you work through that and emerge victorious on the other side or if it is not worth the time or trouble. You have a wonderful loving heart.. There was obviously something there at the start.. just my thoughts..

Sorry for rambling on.. lol this poem really got my mind going.. lol Great poem ...

Well then I am sorry for that sweetheart.. Sorry for her, sorry for you, sorry for all the time wasted trying to pick up the pieces of slivered glass that can never be put back together.. My heart goes out to you because I know by what I read how deeply you wanted this to work and for her to work at it as hard as you were.. I am always here if you ever need to talk.. xo shallimarRose

Nicely penned from the heart...a melancholy write and bittersweet memories of love lost and thought
provoking questions of why?...It takes two to tango...as they say...Rose:)

Thank you. Yes it does take two.

I certainly hope that gentle and kind heart finds another to share its beat!! The phrase, "under a sliver of glass, it waits" really gets the message across. May you find the happiness you seek!!!!

I hope so, if not it will forever lay beneath the sliver of glass.
