Heart Shaped Tears

On Valentine's day so many heart shaped tears Love gone replaced by fears No rivers flowing through the center of one's heart Blocked by a dam close to the start Once struck by Cupid's arrow Flew higher then a sparrow Now bridges broken beyond repair Feelings of distress and despair No chocolates in a heart shaped box Threw away the key to your own locks No sweetly scented bouquet of flowers Instead a bad aftertaste leaving one feeling sour A beautiful red rose replaced by black with sharper edged thorns For next time they surely won't be the one feeling torn Life seems gray and dull with no colors scents or tastes You've lost that love and feeling, oh no what a waste! No fret if alone for true love must start with and for yourself So dust,polish and pick yourself up off your pity party shelf Open up and dry your heart shaped tears Have faith and remember love can conquer all fears

I was losing hope until this line completely turned it for me. "True love must start with a love for yourself." All of a sudden this sad poem rang out with the truth I am always espousing. Believe in you! I am proud you wrote this poem. It might help many young ones find their own way, because the feelings are pure.
