My Medieval Heart

Tonight theres a fortress around my heart,
walling off the hurt that's on the outside,
my heart is once again avoiding the darts,
and wants to gallop off for a solitary ride,
knowing desperately my heart wants to forgive you,
as I slowly swallow my hurtful pride,
hesitantly letting my drawbridge back down,
letting you once again come gallop back inside,
knowing deep down inside you are a danger,
hearing only my own sobbing echoes in my hearts chambers.

I agree w/Christy. It is a very heartfelt and thoughtful poem, Cheryl. Forgiveness always leaves us vulnerable to have another dart thrust into our heart. Ah such is love. Love this poem though. Expressed so beautifully. Good job. Love always, my dear friend. RW

Thank you so much Christy for your kind comment; when I woke up this morning I thought it didn't sound quite right so I edited it a bit. :)
