POEM| No Heart

POEM| No Heart

What if I had no heart…

I probably wouldn’t be alive
I wouldn’t know love
I wouldn’t know pain

I wouldn’t care
I wouldn’t have thoughts
I wouldn’t have feelings

I wouldn’t look for you
I wouldn’t wait for you
I wouldn’t pray for you

I wouldn’t need you
I wouldn’t like you
I wouldn’t love you

But I have a heart…

It’s beating right now
yearning to receive
all the love it has ever given

    Don’t we all need that.. whatever we tell our heart it always crave for the love not reciprocated. Simple yet touching. Amazing.
