Thy Stubborn Heart

I told myself
To refrain from falling
For someone unfit for my heart’s satisfaction.
Now, i woke up thinking of you
First thought when I lay down was you.
Why does my heart refuse to cease
From plunging into love so sudden and intense?

I hate you for talking to me
You made my heart pound with glee.
I hate you even more for calling my name
Knowing my heart will never be the same.

Oh, dear heart!
Just why would you fall.
I wish to shield you from heartaches and all
Let this be a lesson learned
Of a love that brought us pain, a love spurned.

Don't fall too hard. Not easy to get up and forget ..Poems heal though, just to write one is balm to the soul. Bravo for you.
