Jar of Hearts

Upon his shelf sit a jar of hearts Hearts he broke & played with like little toys He is not a man but a boy for whom shall never grow up Love he doesn't give nor shows but pain & hurt he does Hearts of broken women beat above his head A jar of hearts from women he destroyed Each woman shall lay dead to him forevermore

Welcome to the site. I know you will like it here. This poem and its title look somewhat familiar. I believe I may have seen this writing on another poetry site.

Jan, I love this jar... . Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT"
