Best Recovery From...Heart Poems
He's staring again, standing by his balcony door
The way he did each morning, even when I was there
Writhing in pain after my heart from my chest he tore
And as I walk away, my heart on my sleeve I wear
The emotional abuse was unconscionable
Yet for years I clung to hope he'd appreciate me
But his anger just grew, attacks became physical
Till I'd had enough and desired only to be free
My clothing, my perfume, many things remain behind
I'm standing now an I'm finally walking away
Wondering why for far too long I chose to stay blind
Proud I had the strength to leave, I greet a new spring day
How did you feel when you woke? Were you frightened or lonely, or was your heart broke?
Do you feel alone or sometimes afraid? Is it clear that your life’s not meeting the grade?
Do you feel uncomfortable in your own skin? Do you feel that you’re losing, but just want
to win?
Are you having remorse about what could have been? If so, then it’s time to grab paper and
pen.
Jot some things down you’d like to achieve. Then read them each day and start to believe.
We cannot go back and change the past! Standing still today, just won’t last.
So get ready, prepare, and take care of your needs. It’s time to firmly plant His seeds.
Start with yourself and the rest will follow. I know right now it’s hard to swallow.
Be gentle and patient, for there is no doubt, you’ve been hurting so long, both inside and
out.
If you know in your heart that something’s askew, you must be willing and ready to start anew!
There’s help for you along the way. You’ll receive it for sure, so start to pray.
Dear God, Please show me where to start. To You, I know I must open my heart.
So say each day, “Thy Will Be Done”, and you’ll see it, I’m sure, but just don’t run.
Be open and willing to hear and see, all that He is calling you to be.
Follow His signs and stay on the road, and when you ask He’ll help bear the load.
Don’t bring excess baggage for this trip. Keep it simple, you see or you just might slip.
You need to remember to stay on track. Once you start, hold nothing back.
For the new road you find is the only way. You’ll get there soon, if you just don’t stray.
Now is the time for discipline and prayer. You’ll start to believe you’re in His care.
As you practice and try to do the right things, you’ll be eager to see what the next day
brings.
Your life will be flooded with joy and gladness, and you’ll know he’s there in times of
sadness.
Life is still life, but just stop and think. Nothing is solved by making a stink!
So put all your worries in God’s hands today! There’s no reason to keep them, let go and
just pray.
I know that miracles do come true. Have faith and His promises will be given to you.

It would be so very nice if hearts,
Were made of stronger stuff.
And could come back as good as new,
When they’ve been treated rough.
For many years, my heart was mine,
No others called it theirs.
The first time that I let it roam,
It came back for repairs.
I lent my only heart to him,
Expecting it would be,
As cared for and as cherished,
As it had been with me.
Last night he gave my bruised heart back,
So much the worse for wear.
No apology for breaking it,
No offer to repair.
My heart is back where it belongs,
To rest and heal and mend.
If someone asks to borrow now,
I’ll be too wise to lend.
No one shall have my heart again,
Until this fact he learns.
I’ve marked it as “Sale final,
Absolutely no returns.”

Your heart feels old and tired
it’s cried a river...a flood
bedraggled, hurt and weary
stomped and dragged through mud
It’s seen the ebb and flow of life
and watched as you grew strong
step by step rebuilding
a life where you belong
Budding new relationships
built on solid ground
people who believe in you
and the new life you have found
Your heart is strong and growing
new worlds to explore
you’ll know your heart is ready
when finding love once more
You’re wiser and more careful
still smiling through the scars
a journey just beginning
finding love amongst the stars.
For Karin, finding love again...

Ironically, the "peace" you seek
I sought too
Only not in a dream
This is the reality I choose
Here, there are no "daiquiris"
Or "dancing"
No loveless romancing
No more chasing chances
Hoping that love enhances
In a heart that's bare
One that shows
No compassion, No care
And especially when it counts
Never being there
With words of love
I never hear
My peace has
No expectations of tomorrow
Waking with sorrows
Created by torturous choices
Ignorantly ignoring inner intuition,
Inner voices
My peace won't allow my heart to lead
While my mind grieves
Or let my body's desires
Make me weak
In the search for unattainable love I seek
In my reality I'm happy
I have found peace...

I’ve been going through changes that are truly difficult to explain
Written By Dean Masciarelli

I’ve been going through changes
that are truly difficult to explain
But I will try to explain them
in the
best way that I possibly can
A couple of years ago
I had my heart broken
And I did my
best
to try move on
But ever since then
I have never been the same
Like I was way back then
Because my heart
literally grew numb
And now that the years
have come and gone
Since that time
I seemed to have forgotten
What it feels like
to love someone
That can truly love me in return
And I honestly miss that feeling
of having
a true mentor and a companion
That I can also call
my very best friend
But to this day I have never
come close to dating anyone
Because I am still
waiting
for the right one
I must hang a “Do not Disturb” sign
On the door of my heart.
DO NOT DISTURB!
My heart is troubled enough as it is.
Do not disturb.
Oh please...just walk on by
The resident inside
Is in an induced blissful sleep
Do not disturb her slumber
for perhaps.....
in her solitude...
She has found her haven.
Do not disturb!
Do not disturb her...
With your lies
With your alibis
With your flattery
With your mockery
With your demands
With your commands
Do not disturb
DO NOT DISTURB!....
Sh......
Hush now....
Take your hand off the latch
Tread softly
For I wish to sleep
And not to weep
Do not Disturb...
All is peace within
To disturb is a sin
I’ve found my sanctuary
Safe from harm
And deceptive charm
Let me be...
Do not disturb
Do NOT disturb
My heart is in recovery!
I stood on a stage where I assumed I couldn't be fixed...
I thought a broken heart was the end as my clock ticked...
Then the curtains were raised and I saw many that were the same...
Through words and frienships I could erase the blame...
I wiped away reflections that haunted my walls...
But I built up wisdom for the next time it falls...
Left with a heart made with undried tears and invisable cracks...
But a stronger soul that stays intact...
Strange as it may seem I need the pain...
Because when all is well it keeps me sane...
Motherland, my native-land,
Thou hast been again reduced to sand;
Once again these men have made you
That Old Woman, my motherland!
I look from here to there about
And my heart crosses this doubt
As how could it ever be:
Can I Not Help My Dear Country?
They freed thee years ago--
They drove out mortal enemy;
But worse fates have brought you down,
These three scores and years three...
Give me your voice my Motherland,
I'll do my best for all to see;
I'll free thee from all--all's enow:
I Shall Bring Back Our Dignity!
In times when your sons leave--
Desert their mother in troubled-sea,
I promise Mother, give a word
And I shall bring back Liberty...!
...Tell me your heart my Motherland,
Share your sorrows do, with me;
None could doubt, I shall bring back:
Get back our lost Liberty.....
I want to be in love so bad, I settle every time
I hope that when you come around, my heart won't be unkind
Everything he did to me has made my heart grow mean
Now a wall is built around my lowly self-esteem
Pity for the one who tries to catch my wicked stare
Sorry, he consumes the space of all that I can bare
Forgive all that is coy, lurking in my eye
For I don't mean a single thing, it's nothing but a lie
its sad to see a life go down the drain
especially when they show no pain,
such a precious life is never worth taking
even when the heart is aching,
and nobody knew because there were no clues
playing everybody as the fools,
they reach out with their arms wide open
but nothing in return to keep them knowing
giving their heart and soul but nobody spoke in,
turn just reached for the bong and toke'n
popped a pill and then it sunk in,
every past, future, and present linked in
to this haze of a maze the mind is goin
trapped like a mouse trying to find its way out
just to dissimilate oneself
but the haze makes the daze just fade in and fade out
no where to go, no where to shout
stuck in the head is where it iss stuck
and now all they can say is oh schucks
remember help is only one step away in any direction it may sway
don't leave it to the wonder cause nobody can hear with all the thunder.
I consider you my chief, at one point of time
My commander at heart , leader of our military
The big gun in our castle, but mental confusion
Came upon my soul, heart and mind
Disturbance was in the air, causing a big fluster
Flurry thoughts came in my bubble, bursting illusions
As, I tell myself, this can't be true, I know you
You love me, and wouldn't destroy, our magnificent home
Bringing tears , tears and tears
How, could love overlook this pain
This sudden burst, I'm feeling to, disappear far , far away
Where no-one, would dare to stay or lay
So, I may stay on my knees and pray
Pray that this, bewilderment goes away
Because, truthfully,
I have only, one question
Could love overlook this pain?
On a regular day some girl catches your eye,
You feel you gotta be with her or you gotta at least try,
Eventually she enchants you and engulfs your heart,
You can't see it's the beginning of you being torn apart.
In just a few days your mind lies to you saying search time has ended,
All problems with the others this one girl has mended,
So enchanted by her you are, you stop staring at others,
You disregard the warnings of those who look out for you like brothers.
Love is blind, and now she's messed up your damn sight,
Even planted in her darkness, you only see her light,
She's shooting you, she's stabbing you, even cutting off your air,
Your friends are telling you but you won't see no matter how hard you stare.
N then your destroyed, there goes all your glee,
She's left you for death, that's when you finally see,
This one you gave your heart to and loved so much,
The one you swore would be the only one you'd touch.
You thought one day those bells would chime n you'd b sealed forever,
But then then reality kicked in, forever became never,
Those times that spelled pleasure now play like n endless taunt,
You think you'll never escape this never ending haunt.
It goes from "honey, baby, sweetheart, boo",
To "You'll never escape the pain that I'll bring 2 you",
If you knew from the beginning you might have still taken this gamble,
Just for the simple pleasures before the mind scramble.
In your own space sometimes the tears flow like the rain,
Only in secret do you express your pain,
In the company of others you seem to be just fine,
Such a bright beacon, even the sun you outshine.
Anger, hatred n resentment have you thinking females are all the same,
You close your heart to girls as if the entire fleet is to blame,
Remaining closed might never lead you to that true joy,
And if you let in another she may just toss you like an old toy.
"What then do I do Michael-Shane?" they come in secret to ask,
I guess I could say I'm given a very tedious task,
I say "I believe that true love is something we're all destined to feel",
You should always try again, but give your heart enough time 2 heal".

I need a new valve
In this little heart of mine
I need a sturdy one
That only lets enough love out
As the amount of love coming in
The valve I have is faulty
For even when love comes in a trickle
It lets out a strong surge of love
And my little heart gets depleted
Of life giving love
Leading to....
Heart attacks!
Yes, I suffer heart attacks
That are painful and frightening
The after effects of discomfort
Last such a LONG time
And I wonder….
Will the next one be fatal?
I need a new valve
I MUST get a new valve
Right away!
Before it’s too late!
Or perhaps…..
Perhaps…
I need a new heart?
I’ve built a wall around my heart
A wall created with care -
A wall of brick and mortar
I built it with many tears.
The brick is mistrust,
The mortar is pain.
I’ve been broken and wounded,
I won’t love again.
How much can one heart take?
How many tears can be shed?
I built the wall to shield me
From the sorrow that I’ve had.
My life is fine.....or is it?
Sometimes I’m not too sure,
But my wall stands firm.
I’m safe inside, of this I am assured.
I only let God inside my wall,
With Him there is pure trust.
He loves me the way I am,
And to live for Him I must.
Maybe someday…I’ll let another in,
I can’t imagine why.
Maybe there is someone….
Whose love I can’t deny.
They say great love
Involves great risk.
Can I take that chance?
Can I let someone in my heart again,
And give them my last dance?
