What I think or know
My heart will always shatter
Then be frozen and cold

Everything I think I want
I never do receive
My desires, they do haunt
And my heart they do deceive

I know that all men aren’t the same
So why do they give the same response?
It must be me that I blame
And my heart that I ensconce

It’s no longer safe
To love or be loved
For me, it does chafe
In harm’s way, I’m oft shoved

I’m tired of hoping continually
For me, it never pays off
It’s time to break it off cleanly
For at hope, I now scoff

I’ve reached the end of my wits
No longer will I search
On ice, my heart now sits
A cold, but safe little perch

My Heart's Perch

Venting in a poem is sometimes the best therapy to heal ourselves and/or let something go. If someone treated you the way you do not want to be treated they didn't deserve you. You & everyone else deserves to be loved, really loved.
Hang in there, it'll get better.

If you need a friend ask for one.

"I am not perfect
only a man
from the dust of the earth
and the scowl of the sand
in the sweat of my brow
I take and eat bread
but I'm willing to share
of the little I have"
