Joseph May Poet Sonnet

Anyone Who Had a Heart

She found a love she thought was true,
 A love that was her every dream
 But love's a tango just for two,
 And one heart does not make a team

 The look of love was in her eyes
 "Anyone who had a heart" could see,
 But a broken heart was her consolation prize
 A captive of love, not yet free

 He'd found another to fill with his charms
  But to him alone her heart was drawn,
 Wishing it was her he held in his arms
 She hung on to a love which was long gone

 Anyone could see she loved him from the start
 That is, "anyone who had a heart"
