To Heal a Heart- Ilyezas Two For One

You hurt You ache You stay long nights…awake You moan You cry And you just don’t know…why? Your heart It hurts The pain…it comes in spurts You want To die You..don’t even want…to try My child My dear There’s no need now...for fear Your heart Is strong To love is never...wrong See me Right here? I’ve cried….many a tear Been hurt Like you But I knew…what to do Look up JUST SHOUT All that pain….LET IT OUT !!! You’ll laugh You’ll live You have so much…to give Your heart Will Beat It will not take…defeat Just wait You'll see Please listen, dear…to me Your heart WILL mend LOVE HAS…A…HAPPY…E..N...D! You think that love has gone and passed you by Your heart in pieces and you wonder why You feel unable to go on and live So tired of love when you’re the one to give Look up, look high, the sun is shining bright There is an end to this your lonesome night In time, my dear, your heart is sure to mend For you have learned how not to break but bend I know, it’s hard, right now to see things clear Your heart has filled with nothing else but fear When you’ve done nothing, but give it your all Who will be there to catch you if you fall? I leave this promise sweet, dear one, to you Your heart will mend and love will see you through Eileen Manassian Ghali Missed the contest, Flo...but hope these two types of poems can still bring a smile to the one who brings a smile to you! Love YA for being such a great MOM....and Souper...and FRIEND!!!

Two excellent poems here my little Desert Orchid though I admit a preference to the couplet one, more my thing and flawless it is too. Take care, Richard

This sounds like a conversation I might have with myself at times. I love how you have combined these forms, it also looks like a shape form.

You think so, Paul? Yes....life can be tough, can't it? We all need "therapy". For me....kind words...a warm embrace...a listening ear....does the trick! Thanks for this lovely post. :) Good therapy for today....

This is brilliant Eileen. Now why is Mustapha saying this? Subjects like these its quite an assignment to bring it to life, so as to hold the reader's interest. I thought you did an excellent job in conveying your point in a succinct yet lively manner. It was indeed a pleasure to peruse Eileen. Regards : )
