Hearts do Heal Around Here (A Poem)

Hearts do heal around here

I see your heart's aching

For care, love and attention

I know it's been tossed and turned

Inside out, used like a rag doll,

Beaten like a defeated pinata,

It's almost still, it's beat a faint slow rhythm like dull footsteps on an asphalt road

Hearts do heal around here
I feel the ache, the wants, the needs

I feel the pain, the hurt, the aggression

A fire deep within burning at its lowest

Watered down with empty promises, grand thoughts

And exotic dreams of loves romanticism.

Hearts do heal around here
Be still now child, here's the needle, the syringe and the drug

Get lost

Not in love's tale sung by cupid as he floats above your window sill,

Not in the pictures you glide through of couples together with their body language screaming goals

Not in the fruit forbidden because you're heart, no longer beating flesh but ice cold stone

Not in the sweet words painted by friends who say a broken heart can only be healed with time.

Hearts do heal around here
Get lost

In yourself, build an empire fit for a king like you, a special palace fit for a queen only

In books, in the words of mentors long gone with wisdom for the future years

In ideas which you will make come through by sheer will

In Him, who made you out of dust and breathed life and love into your beautiful heart

Get lost in you

Hearts do heal around here

If you showed to you a little care
