Ashley Cotton Poet Rhyme

I Have a Heart Too

I have a heart
Like most of us do 
And all I requested
That it be loved by you

I have a soul
And I have a good mind 
And every once and while
You try to batter me down
As if I don't cry

I have a heart to feel
To grieve what's real
And I have eyes
Which I forced to be blind 
So I won't have to see
A love that has died. 

I Have a Heart Too!

Poet Destroyer A February 22, 2014 at 7:03 PM Hi Ashley, a nice, but sad feeling. I have a 22 year old daughter, who expressed herself the same way last week. During the time I gave her my comfort. She said the same words, you have in your poem above. "I HAVE A HEART TOO." It's not as easy to pretend these kind of feelings don't matter. I like the way you expressed your heart.... Always...

Robert Pettit February 20, 2014 at 9:23 PM Nice descriptiveness and rhyming. Was it your intention to repeat the third verse? Ashley Cotton February 21, 2014 at 3:21 PM It was not. Thank you for that. I didn't realize. I fixed my poem.

Tim Smith February 20, 2014 at 7:41 PM I can feel your pain Ashley...Hope you will be ok...Hugs Tim Ashley Cotton February 21, 2014 at 3:23 PM Oh! I am fine though. Just posting some poems that have been hidden in my poetry book. Some are from a more hurtful in time in life. Regardless, thanks for the concern Tim! (:
