Here's My Heart

Here it is, open and on display
 the very heart I gave away.

Did you think it was a game
 bending to love's false claim?

Here it is, broken in frustration
 in the loss of love's expectations

Push it down and bury it deep
 covered by the lies of deceit.

Within the shadow of a broken heart
 feelings and emotions part

There's no do-over around the bend
 alas, we can still be friends.






for Joseph May One in Four
Within the shadow of a broken heart
