Senses

I can see when my eyes are open
I can feel when I reach out and touch 
I can hear when my ears are willing 
but my heart can only heal so much

I reread this write and think your fourth line would refer to being hurt badly and although you can maybe forgive, your heart cannot forget - the problem is that our heart is connected to our brain. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

The 'punch' of that final line is excellent, and gives the reader reason to ponder upon, Richard. Regards // paul
