The Ghost of Heartbreaks Past...
With hands and heart
I sit here now
the same as nights before
I hope to touch
you with my words
for you are far, amor
I hear you cry
in silent words
how your heart beats with sorrow
The loneliness
you say you feel
makes me yearn for tomorrow
Make no mistake
My heart is true
and my intent sincere
I've always said
"If you need me
just call and I'll be (t)here"
Yet there are things
that I must know
Is this bond built to last?
Is your heart in
the here and now
or pining for ghosts past?
You once declared
a broken heart
could never mend the shards
Is this why you
obscure yourself
behind your house of cards?
Is your heart free
to rise up from
the ashes of days gone?
Or is it mired
in longing for
a faded star once shone?
Why let your heart
be swayed by those
who once tore it asunder?
Won't you trust me
to keep it whole
and see you through the thunder?
Those words of yours
becoming you
do they echo your soul?
Am I the star
that lights your heart
or just a stand-in role?
Lovely.
It is evident to me, that your heart was possibly the drive of this poem.
I loved this...'why let your heart be swayed by those who once tore it asunder?'
A hearbreaking piece...but beautifully written and wonderul to read.
