Her Torn Heart

The dark clouds hid her heart from view
No one could see it so no one knew.
That this heart of hers had laid dormant
For a very long time.
Afraid to come out of its shell
Cause it knew pain very well.

It had been hurt so many times before
That it decided to close its doors.
It had gotten to a state
That like a bear it would hibernate.

She had a sign outside her door
Love doesn’t live here any more.
Love from this place has moved away
In here it could not stay.

In this house there is too much gloom
How is love supposed to bloom?
There in the corner sits her broken heart
Numerous times it had been torn apart.

So she lives in misery, wondering
When her heart will be free.
Then a light shown from under the door
From a heart who had been here before.

They say that “ misery loves company”
But they found love and are now free.

            ( I’m an optimist)
