My Loving Heart

I run into that old brick wall again You never want to let my loving in I know that you don’t love me, the way that I love you But what’s a loving heart supposed to do I’m living here, with my loving heart You close the door, before I even start I wish that I could show you, how it feels when we’re apart I’m living here, with my loving heart They say that time, can heal a broken heart You’ll fade away, and I’ll get a new start And someday you won’t own me, the way you do today My loving heart might live another way I’m living here, with my loving heart You close the door, before I even start I wish that I could show you, how it feels when we’re apart I’m living here, with my loving heart Every day’s a heartache, time marching slow Wishing for answers, wondering where to go I tell myself, you can make it one more day But my loving heart, don’t hear a single word I say I’m living here, with my loving heart You close the door, before I even start I wish that I could show you, how it feels when we’re apart I’m living here, with my loving heart

So profound on the pain of unrequited love, I really like the lines 'someday you won't own me/my heart might live another way' - so poignant~

Andy, this is quite lyrical. I could almost here the guitar playing in the background. Very well done!

You are correct. I will try to post the song version soon. Of course I'm not a good singer but....well, time is running out. Thanks for taking time to read my poem.

Does this come with a nice bluesy / country soundtrack? I like it!
