Heart

Without it you'd die

With it, you thrive

At times it opens

At times it closes

In moments it's broken

From those outspoken

It attempts to avoid the hurt

Brushing off any emotional dirt

But never truly will it ever convert

For it longs for the one it will never desert

Sometimes they're fake

Causing others to break

And ache

A few believe in fate

While others hate

It takes its chances

It does its dances

Holding back

Worrying what it lacks

Learning to let go

It just goes with the flow

Forgetting all woe

His feels it's alright

Because it's worth the fight

Hers feels guarded

The past left one's bombarded

I've met a couple made of gold

A few more so unfortunately cold

One I just wanted to hold

And another worth the scold

A child's is whole

As pure as his soul

Others long

For a time that's come and gone

A risk it was too timid to take

Now left in its sorrowful wake

Many give theirs away

Expecting nothing in repay

Recipients sway

Then comes decay

Enthralled,

In love it falls

The good, the bad upon it that's brought

To more than just an organ that's always fought

Is it worth going through again

It feels the need to defend

Does it cry out

Does it shout

Does it wreak of doubt

Please discard your fear

You are lovely and endeared

Everything's welcome here

Including your tears

Let me hear it beat

It's fond of deceit

So you retreat

Hard as concrete

Pardon me, you disagree?

Well reveal it and we shall see

I believe it holds the power to move mountains indeed

It favors no race, color or creed

Unattached to greed

Only for love it pleads

Courage professes it take the lead

Its pain from the past will learn to precede

The future's offer of warmth and compassion it needs

The heart is heavy

The heart is humble

The heart reaches out

The heart takes a tumble

You think your heart's ability to love has ended

Let me show you how it can be mended

Take the leap of faith and stop feeling so vain
This time choose the heart over the brain

For once, go against the grain

Break through fear's chains

Let Love Reign
