Kelli White Poet Bio

My Heart Walked Out

I woke this morning with an empty space
Where my heart should be
A deep crevice well worn and deep
My Heart walked out sometime last night
While I was dreaming in my sleep
Cold and distant heartless now
Pale and pasty full of sorrow
Warmth all gone no hand to hold
To blind to see the dark and cold
My Heart walked out sometime last night
While I was dreaming in my sleep
Had I known this pain I'd feel
I would have held you closer and
Made our dreams more real
Shame on me selfless fool
Left alone with all these thoughts
Drowning in this emotional pool
My Heart walked out on me last night
While I was dreaming in my sleep
And here I lie shamelessly crying
In a heartless emotional heap.

The Grahamburglar May 5, 2016 at 8:01 PM To give...and be taken advantage of. I fear it happens more than anyone cares to admit. Unfortunately, it doesn't take real love to break a heart. The selfish love is just as effective at dashing hopes, and dreams. =/ Thanks for sharing this moving, and contemplative piece. -G Kelli White May 5, 2016 at 8:20 PM Thank you G. Fictional. But thoughts come to mind and I put it on paper. U right very well. I feel to draw people in and let them feel is very important. Bless you

Daniel Turner February 11, 2016 at 8:43 AM Anyone would be a fool to walk out a lovely heart like yours and I'm pretty sure you know that. Love the poem. Kelli White February 11, 2016 at 9:07 AM Thank you Daniel. I just liked the sound of it. Guess you could replace Heart with any part of anatomy depending on your mood or commitment lol

Demetrios Trifiatis February 10, 2016 at 9:50 AM What a fantastically, beautiful and self-searching poem, dearest Kelli! I really loved its candor and sensitivity! If we learn to sacrifice a morsel of our egoism on the altar of love each day, better our relationships would be! I love your poem. A seven!
