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)
