I feel that we should all let our emotions out through poems.
I think it is good therapy. 🙂
Think again before you utter
Words that cause another pain
For hearts are very slow in healing
If they ever heal again
When you hurt the ones who love you
Then you learn with humbled pride
Hearts are not just playthings
To be broke and cast aside

Wounded hearts are slow at healing -
If they ever heal again.
So curb your tongue for just a moment
And, before you speak, think again.

So who is that, and how did the poem end up different???

It's not easy to explain the way I feel
but the more I watch, the more I try
to come to terms with loving you
I long to be close
but it's the children
If a man deserved a fraction
of the devotion you so effortlessly give
then he could truly say he'd found paradise
And what say if he could share
this deep relationship
and genuinely care for them
could such a love exist?
I don't beleive you would find it
but if you were truly blessed
It would find you

How old were you back then? I would have been 17.
