The Heartbeat of a Broken Heart

Anyone who's ever loved knows the heart felt rhythm of joy! There's laughter when we talk and sizzle when we walk! Nothing bothers nor does it annoy! But like a coin that has two sides the other unfortunately has a beat of it's own and once it is known we never forget that easily! Each and every heart you see is touched by joy and pain. We learn in time that it's rhythm and rhyme will change again and again! The beat taught me about the two sides to love and with this poem I do here tell, when we're in real love it's the beat from Heaven, A broken heart's the beat from Hell! Take some time and give this some thought- if you do I'm sure you'll see, that there is a way starting now....today to stop love's hurting heart symphony! If love comes your way and touches your heart you must be honest and true! Do unto this heart what'll make sweet music and this music will be brought unto you! "The Heartbeat Of A Broken Heart" is one unlike it's counterpart, instead of music that sounds so sweet it's got a rhythm that's out of beat! Deep within it's one we feel. We'd rather have it not be real! The joy or the sadness, what sets them apart- "The Heart Beat Of A Broken Heart!" (WTA-IV)

I have felt both sides often. Congratulations, Walter on POTD. I'm always the last one to the party. I like things hoppin' when I get there. You keep on writing gems like this one and we'll all skip a beat. Great write my friend:)
