[bodytext] => Where have you gone, oh heart of mine
Why is it you I can not find Some day I hope to give you away But from me you did stray I haven’t kept you safe I know The battle wounds we readily show I know you are alone somewhere Bruised and misshapen, fragile and fair I beg you come back, return to me I want to keep you safe under lock and key I want to hide you from the pain and strife That cut through you like a sharpened knife I know these are promises made before Then I let someone knock down your door I let them trample you to the ground Till there was nothing left to be found I don’t blame you for fleeing this place Leaving nothing, not even the slightest trace I wish to go back, to change all those things To know the song a whole heart sings But the seconds on the clock tick on Each stroke bringing closer the dawn The time is spent and can’t be regained From chasing the wind we must refrain I can only promise to try my best To overcome the very next test To be more protective to build better walls Not to let just anyone wander your halls So when you tire of being away Know you are always welcome here to stay [comments] => 6 [counter] => 308 [topic] => 32 [informant] => LJ [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
