Returned Heart

It would be nice if loving hearts Were made of much stronger stuff, With easier to replace parts, When they have been treated rough. I thought my cared for heart was tough And that he would treat it nice. Because he didn't care enough My broken heart paid the price. By: Joyce Johnson For contest "Hutain This One" Won an 8th place

Joyce This is such a sad and heartbreaking poem. Love should never hurt or feel bad. Thank you for the great comment on my My Past poem.

Beautiful and sad poem. Maybe instead of feeling like he did not care enough, you should look at it that maybe you cared too much, for a heart as sensitive of yours deserves the best. Lee
