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.

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

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

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!
