This heart is yours…

This Heart is Yours

•

this heart is yours

this damaged heart

this brittle
fractured
aching heart

broken
in your cold cruel hands

abused
then cast aside

I’ve no use for this ruined heart

I plucked it from my chest

I seek a warm and vital heart

now begins my quest

  1. I think you have inhabited the voice of the embittered and broken very well in this poem, Rob!
