Spoken Word - This Heart

Spoken Word This heart cannot stand to be ignored. I no longer want your pity. Lack of empathy you threw at me, Accusations, never touching my skin Cut so deep. Tormented by memories Things you said and did Echos and vibrations of emotions I still shed like autumn leaves. Fallen. A perfect pattern of scattered memories Trail behind me. This bare and baron tree Rooted so deeply. It is but the tip, the edges where the branches meet the sky Of the deep soul you crushed your words repeatedly tore me apart. No more will I allow you to sit upon these branches. Enjoying the fresh air and the magnificent view. These branches have place for only those who cherish. For those who deserve my love. My broken beating heart will mend I no longer stand for your pity. I no longer beg for your pardon. This heart. Deserves gentleness This heart. Deserves true love
