Of the Heart

The heart holds all the pain, 
yet, at the same time, 
all the love.
However, which is which?
For love is often pain 
and pain is often love.
Do not misunderstand, 
one must exist with the other.
Do not despair, 
as those entities of the heart 
give you strength 
and of course, wisdom.
Take the time you need 
to tell them apart 
and find the differences.
Once achieved, 
your life will be far better 
and the one you longed for.
