An Open Heart

Contributed by Jeff_Scott_Morehead on Tuesday, 24th May 2005 @ 03:39:02 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

An Open Heart
~~~~
If my heart wasn’t so open
It would be difficult for hurt to get inside
Yet it comes in through the doors
And finds a place to hide

I know of no other way to be
Then open to this pain
So hurt has a home
And he uses it for his gain

I’ve tried to close the door a time or two
Tried to let nobody in
Stopped the blood from flowing freely
It might as while been a piece of tin

I was no happier none-the-less
And I learned from the painful try
That if you close you heart to all
Then the good ones you deny

So I’d rather deal with hurt
Than to never experience love
I’ve learned you can’t protect you heart
By simply wearing a glove

Though I don’t welcome pain
I no longer try to hide
By closing off my heart
And allowing no one inside

This is a wondeful write! I hope that you do open your heart again! Closed hearts will eventually be more painful! But this is a great write!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
