My Dear Heart

**I personified my heart here, making it seem as if it is another person. The poem is written as if I am talking to my heart. It's a bit stange, but I like the outcome. It's different but interesting. Hope you like it.

My Dear Heart

How did you get so far into this abyss?
How now are you still able to hold on?
With the whole weight of the world balanced on your chest
When your shoulders broke
I'd think that was the end of it
Right then and there
But you're still breathing in your slow painful way
Sighing with each day the glorious sun stretches its light across the sky
Knowing that this day is not different than the rest

When will you ever see joy in its purest form?
The way it was meant to be seen
When will your weary head rise again- with strength under your skin?
Able to feel again
Emotions pulsating in the veins
When will you ever smile again the way you once did?
In beautiful days before the change of the seasons was as subtle
As the black and white shades your world is composed of

Haven't you had enough?
With all the makes of this inconsequential life
You weep slowly in the corners when no one knows
And hide all that pain deeply in all the crevices you can find
When everyone around is making plans for the future
You laugh at me when I say I'm the same way
I guess you know me better
You know it's not worth making plans for the future
When you can't even make it through the day

My dear Heart
Have I worn you down with all this pain?
When you show me your scars, then try to cover them
So no one else can see what I see in you
You remind me how ironic it is that the strongest of mankind
Are the ones that are already broken down and empty
At the end of the day you weep alone in dark places
And still you beat in the same rhythmical way
Reminding me that no matter the bruises
Life has a strange way of always moving on
