The Absent Heart

I whispered,
I shouted,
My soul was doubted.

She answered,
She pleaded,
Her words were unheeded.

I laughed,
I cried,
My thoughts left inside.

She borrowed,
She gave,
Her emotions no slave.

I smiled,
I frowned,
My head turned around.

She grinned,
She sobbed,
Her trust was robbed.

I asked,
I demanded,
My temper was branded.

She tried,
She quit,
Her heart had split.
