Defective Heart

Always tasting pain with perfection

a smile only lasts for a brief second

before being stained when sadness beckons

turns down the emotion

downplays the elation

left like a train

sat idling at the station

 

Sink into warm duvet

it's going to be that kind of day

close my eyes

and hope it fades into grey

happiness is not allowed

is this karma biting away?

 

Inward smiles soon become frowns

upside down they flounder around

I swear inside

words seldom uttered aloud

I mutter to myself under a darkened cloud

is this what happens

when cries become too loud?

 

Read between lines

inserting words in my mind

I see attack

even if the content is kind

I feel dejected, a defective heart rejected

by the body it calls home

is this what happiness feels like

when its left all alone?

 

But then I see your smile

my heart lifts

breaks the chains that tie me down

and my mood starts to shift

climb out of my duvet

and embrace the day

this is what happens

when two hearts make the rains wash away

 

Thanks For Reading,

Peace & Love.
