Hearts

Lisa Stanley
What kind of foolish heart opens up again?

If only slightly

To just be left sliced open

Pouring out a river of blood

And tears

To be deceived by a strangers touch

And be left alone on the cold floor

Dying again

What kind of heart trusts and is left

Alone, seeking answers that will never come?

Hopeless to find a reason to make sense of the lies,

Betrayal

A heart that trusts is easily broken, but one that never is cold as stone

Dying no matter what

    For every heart break is a learning experience tough painful at the time. We all feel like this at times but eventually the right one will come along and mend the damage done. Well done on your poem:)
