You’ve broken my heart,
Taking what’s left of me,
Grinding me up,
Tossing my ash to the four winds.
Questioning what I saw in you,
I should have listened,
Love is blind,
And so was I.
Reckless and foolish,
Naive perhaps,
But isn’t that how love is,
Without logic,
Without thought,
Utterly ignorant.
They say,
The heart wants,
What the heart wants,
In this lies the only truth.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
I’m wondering if it’s the fact that it’s soon Valentine’s Day that is generating so many poems about heartbreak and woe? Beautiful poem!
Oh…I don’t know, it’s one of those phases I’m going through. It will pass…maybe after Valentine’s Day, we’ll see. :)
The heart makes the worst decisions sometimes, and has a mind of its own.
It most certainly does. We do things we know are bad for us even though we know better when we are in love. Oh well, I guess it is just human nature. Thank you for taking the time to comment. :)
