A Heart

A heart can tell
When another is true
And although it might be confused
It does what it’s led to do

A heart can see
When someone’s in need
And in desperate times
A heart can learn to lead

A heart can feel
Another heart’s beat
Yet as simple as it sounds
It’s a difficult feat.

A heart can take
Only so much pain
But, in the end it overcomes
And learns to love again

Although the heart can endure
A large amount of ache
It’s only a matter of time
And once again the heart will break

A heart can repeatedly 
Be broken to the core
Yet love and give it time
And it’ll come back stronger than before
