no I am not heartless its just that life has taught me

I love you
oh these words are so empty 
when said over and over again
with nothing left behind to show it 
much like the look in your eyes 
when you smile so sweetly
saying you care with your tears 
all the while screaming in my ear 
the words truer than you care to admit

I've always known better
but My perception of love blinded me
My instincts told me better
yet passion subdued me
I am smarter than this
but the heart does not hear the mind

I reside here In the empty land of wasted stories
a place of lost faith 
I am a collection of the mistakes and dreams 
of those that I've loved
no I am not heartless
its just that life has taught me
to use my heart less

Mistakes And Dreams

And so say all of us. Melancolia used to be a dx. Now, I think, it is norm. Texas is under water and more heart is needed along with bottled water and a boat. Heroes needed. Head southwest to apply. Beautiful writing - solemnity in verse. - allets -
