If A Heart

[apoetwholovestosing]

If it is true
That a heart cries,
Then my heart weeps
Like a thousand willow trees!

If it is true
That a heart knows sorrow
My heart is sadder than
The tragedy of wars, lost or won!

If it is true
That a heart can break,
My heart is shattered
Like humpty dumpty from his fall...

Crushed like a rose beneath uncaring
Feet!

I read this on poetfreak. I'm happy to read it again and comment here too. It's a lovely, sad poem and I really like it.

Our hearts are so delicate , that sometimes they cannot mend and are broken for ever..a lovely write Dorothy
