Indiana Shaw Poet Couplet

Listen to poem:

Thefts From Your Heart

THEFTS FROM YOUR HEART - (Long Musical intro)

A broken heart may heal, but the scars are left
Beating, beating, as never forgetting your theft

Wounded; forced to carry on with all of its pain
Alas, reminding that painfully hurt scars remain

Never once rested, as each scar is overstressed
Waiting, waiting, until one is left less distressed

Then all scars harden; like the hurt in your heart
A heart becomes vice like no longer able to start

With the final heartbeats; the scars ripped apart
Exposing the full extent, the thefts of your heart

Indiana Shaw . . .
