BEWARE THE HEART

BEWARE THE HEART

Beware the heart that comes with ease,
insisting on one's life.
'Tis beauty and grace adorned in lace
that cuts you like a knife.

The one that runs, and hides the heart,
doth play deceptive games.
forever chasing emptiness,
devoid of any shame.

The melancholy broken heart's
perpetual self doubt.
A casualty of rejection.
Her purple heart bleeds out.

The hardened heart knows not of love,
'twas long since left behind.
Be it taken or forsaken,
'tis not upon her mind.

'Tis open heart, without a plan,
whose love keeps not the score.
Her heart doth share, with depth and care.
This love be ever more.
