WHAT GOOD IS A HEART

WHAT GOOD IS A HEART
WHEN IT'S CONSTANTLY BEING BROKEN
WHAT GOOD IS A VOICE
IF IT CAN'T BE HEARD OR SPOKEN

WHAT GOOD ARE MY EYES
WHEN ALL IT SEES IS VAIN
WHAT GOOD ARE MY FEELINGS
WHEN ALL I FEEL IS PAIN

WHAT GOOD IS THERE TO BE LOVED
WHEN LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES
WHAT GOOD IS THERE TO BE WANTED
WHEN EMPTINESS SURROUNDS ME

WHAT GOOD AM I TO ANYONE
WHEN I"M HOPELESS AS IT IS
WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY OFFER
WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY GIVE

WHEN I GAVE MY ALL TO SOMEONE
THEY INSTANTLY STOLE MY SOUL
SO INSTEAD OF GIVING PARTIAL
I GAVE THAT PERSON WHOLE
MY LIFE, MY BODY, MY MIND, AND 2 KIDS
I WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR THIS PERSON
AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID

TOOK ME FOR GRANTED BY PLACING
A KNIFE STRAIGHT THROUGH MY BACK
TOOK AWAY MY SELF CONFIDENCE
THAT I'M SLOWLY REGAINING BACK
TOOK AWAY MY DIGNITY
ALONG WITH MY HOPES AND DREAMS
TOLD ME HOW UNPRETTY I WAS
TORE DOWN MY SELF ESTEEM
SO WHAT GOOD IS A HEART?

    It's natural to misquote cost. Till scarcity, value is lost. Pain comes to widen reasoning. All that happens tend towards win. After sales, bookkeeping follows.

    Okay.. This is going to the favs ! I loved how easy it was to read because it flowed so well. Also, the depths of the hurt and confusion and frustration you felt must not go unnoticed. A dam fool he is, i say ! Lol. Keep writing girl

    As a guy who writes a lot of rhymes I absolutely love this, it's just a shame about the content. And as for the last verse.

    Unpretty? Pah! I've just looked at your profile pic and you're beautiful.

    I have to be honest, after going through these things, you certainly have a right to question the good of having a heart at all. I suppose you have to try and take the positives from negative experiences if that makes sense. You have two children, if this is literal, and you will be a stronger person when you come out the other side.
    All the very best,
    Ben
