Gentle Heart

In search of a gentle heart
I crawl through the darkness
of my lonely existence. 
 
  This heart has paid 
the price of love's sweet miseries... 
 wanting nothing more than to 
be passed by -
 left all alone to quietly heal. 
 
Sometimes a heart 
can feel pain.
Sometimes a heart can 
feel loneliness and rejection. 
Most of the time
the stronger heart survives.
 
The gentler hearts do not.
Some gentle hearts 
are taken to the limit. 
Gentler hearts can be 
tormented and abused.
However my gentle heart
 has so much love
 to offer.
 
A gentle heart 
is difficult to find.
A gentle heart
 embodies unconditional love. 
A gentle heart embraces 
a different kind of love.
 
Hearts...
 although gentle,
 are not to be stepped upon.
A truly beating heart 
should be cherished 
and loved forever 
by another. 
 
Do you 
have a  
gentle heart?
I do.
 
A beating heart 
for someone..
 
someday...
