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" ~ 6-12-18 Sonnet's Salutation Poetry Contest William Kekaula

"...one heart doesn't make a team." Very profound line, Joseph. It is very difficult to move forward after losing a love in this fashion. It's been more than six years for me and I still have no desire to date again. I'm adding this poem to my faves as it holds special meaning. Excellent writing! Hugs, Carolyn
