Half-hearted
Half-hearted
I do everything half-hearted;
Never giving it my all.
Always spreading out
my contents,
Across the galaxies,
in awe…
Of the war inside my head -
Never trusting anyone.
Breaking; in the silence
Of the damage
that’s been done.
I do everything half-hearted;
Mechanism of defense -
if I spilled myself
for everyone;
All I'd have
-would be
a mess.
I did everything half-hearted,
til the day
I learned your heart.
When it all fell into place
I knew;
there were
no missing parts.
I did everything half-hearted
til the day I fell for you
Then, put my faith into forever
And started
every day anew.
I do everything
half-hearted
Since nothing -
Now, the same.
Lock this cold
black heart
back in its box
and toss it in the flames.
I do everything half-hearted though;
my heart
still speaks your name. …Believing yours
would speak mine, too - I've just myself to blame…
-Marion A. Yost-
