The heart laid dead inside for years
Just existing and not
Truly living
So with a promise of love
It thought it saw
It took a peak outside
Of its self - contained walls
Wanted to explore
The possibilities of
Happiness, dreams coming true and
Of love once more.
The heart felt the pain of
Unrequited love and
Suffered it did
With tears, sadness and
The loneliness that
Now took hold
With a crushing blow
The heart retreats
Back into the self- contained
Walls of its coffin
And nails itself shut
For eternity.
