Senescent Heart

by Meme   Jul 17, 2012


My eyes;
a burning fury
while yours are
as cold as a
spine-chilling
winter night.

Your patronizing
tone is deafening
my ears; a child in
yours eyes is not
something I am.

I have loved ..
I have lost ..
I have been in
the middle of a storm
so no I'm not a child,
these helped shape
the woman I am today.

My years maybe
young for you, but
my heart is much
more older than
yours ..

.. hurt it and it will
bleed a sea of agony.

And its only when
I fall weak into your
arms cradle me like
a child, remembering
that I'm still a young
woman with a
senescing heart.

    Lol @ abeds comment. So true.

    I loved the tone of this piece. It can be perceived as sad, but it also comes across strong. I loved the way you basically said "I'm mature" in this stanza

    "My years maybe young for you, but my heart is much more older than yours"

    Lovedddd it :)
