If a Heart

If it is true
That a heart cries,
Then my heart weeps
Like a thousand willow trees!

If it is true
That a heart knows sorrow,
Then my heart is sadder
Than the tragedy of wars
Lost or won!

If it is true
That a heart can break,
Then my heart is shattered
Like humpty dumpty
From his fall...

Crushed like a rose,
Beneath,
Uncaring
Feet!
