Throw away the heart

You've found a heart,
don't forget your pen.
You were once dead,
You now enjoy flesh covering your wicked bones, you now enjoy being alive.

Pay heed, 
What you're accepting has much more pain.
I'll advice you throw that heart away,
live as you've lived. 

You might lose your glittering crown.
That's why your heart was turned off at first.
Don't get hypnotized by its deception,
Forgetting what you've held and reward it offered.
