Matters of the heart

Painful longing

As I gaze at you

I watch your eyes as the pain

Of my words registers

The intensity of the moment

All too hard to take in

The torment so clear

In your eyes



Drowning in a

cloud of emotion

that is unwelcome

To feel this

Is horror for mine heart

For the pain you put

Us all through



My bossom should

should be numb to you

Unable to be moved

By your display of affection

I realise thoughts alone

Cannot control

Matters of the heart



My mind wants

to feel no pity

But that would be

running away

From who I am

A burden on my soul

Searing into my spirit

Causing me to break

Against my will

These are indeed

Matters of the heart
