My Heart 


My heart has seen sadness
the eyes of depression
the deceiving smile hides the tears of defeat
My heart has felt love 
in the arms of your lover 
you see no one, hear no one, 
 know nothing of the world around you
My heart has been broken 
a hate of human nature and its imperfections 
a loneliness that eats at the soul
My heart has grown to know these feelings
 time and again, 
 but it has never known happiness 
until I met you
