Thy Heart

by Sherry Lynn   Dec 18, 2011


How much more can thy heart break?
Pain residing deep within thine own chest,
Unable to catch a breath-
Everything in thine own self yearning to scream out.

Exhausted from lifes triumphs and battles,
Dismayed at the calous of others.
Tortured from what should be and what is,
Torn between the evil choices one must choose.

Thy heart can only stand to take so much,
Anguish and grief have proven to be more than enough.
Wishing for the pain to suddenly dissipate,
Even if it means thy heart shall never again beat.

Trapped in this nightmare of agony,
No escape shall come- all hope is vanished.
Isolated in thine own sorrows,
Unable to think about what lies ahead in all thy tomorrows.

    It seems that this true piece reads your heart and silently conveys the language of your heart and what it has went through and still,despite of all,it stills manages to beat right....!!!

    very true,original and it conveys that since you are a human,you are always prone to the darkness of life and despite all this,you still strive to keep it all in yourself...

    And even when broken this instrument can still work unlike other instruments even when 'tortured from what should be and what is '
    Thought-provoking. Do we take our heart for granted ?
