Foolish Demented Heart

Foolish Heart, since you don’t stop That most foolish rant and rave I will have to tie you up And bury you in a cave That would surely silence you And let me live in peace For now you just torment me And I can’t live in ease You’ve not given wisdom right You’ve left me bruised and torn When I gave heed to your voice I was left to grieve and mourn You are a foolish foolish heart Your chambers devoid of light Wisdom you beat and tied up And you plunged me into night You made me share secret thoughts You made me open to slight And I had to suffer shame Flagellate myself with might You’ve proven a real traitor I see who you really are You chose to see his beauty And have left me with a deep scar You fell for those angel eyes You fainted at that warm smile Made me act like a schoolgirl Too innocent to beguile But I fell flat on my face With myriad eyes staring on You are a damned wretched thing I demand that you be gone Stay hidden in that dank cave With your mouth gagged till you bleed You put me through hell and back Your damn voice I will not heed Aw…I’m a free woman now I will go and seek revenge Of all those who mocked my love My spilt blood I will avenge Devoid of love and feelings I’m a Snow Queen made of ice I enact your wicked ways For they think I’m soft and nice My foolish demented heart Stay tied up until you rot You did your damndest uptmost But love’s fool…I AM NOT!

There is nothing foolish or demented about your heart. But if I only read this poem I would be very scared*lol* well done!

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"... I believe Shakespeare wrote this with you in mind. Way to tell that heart who's boss! I like when you write with this unexpected rage... spicing things up with variety, me likes it!

Now THIS is more like it! Let your heart push back when it is pushed. The last line just laced it smooth. Beautiful!

Oh the heart, we can no more control its beating than we can where it leads us. Cold hearts may lead a safe life but I suspect a boring one, though flagellation could make it less so i suppose lol. Take care, Richard

True, my dear...so true! That's why we need to make it suffer for the suffering it has caused us! ;) Sometimes boring is good...at least you don't bleed. Liked the flagellation bit, eh? Richard...you will be sarcastic....Incorrigible my dear! BTW...this is so part of your charm!

Amen, Sister. My heart is just as gullible. The bugger leads me to all kinds of situations where my conscience won't allow. lol. Have a good weekend, Eileen. Licia :-)

Any battle fought against our heart is a battle lost! A beautiful sad poem too human to be ignored! Would it be better to set our hearts free? Just a thought! Excellent writing and a 7, for I know of lost battles! Thank you!

I know, my dear poet...I know. Sometimes...even though we endure pain, we are unable to set them free...It would hurt even more. Thanks for the visit and your kind remarks. I see you also have faced the same battle. I know you will be victorious!
