I Know That Heart

I Know That Heart

She holds her heart out to him 
and says:
"It's a little broken, not in the best condition
but,
if you want it, it's yours."
and
he looks at her open palm
ad the bruised heart sitting there
and
he says:
"I know that heart."
she grins a melancholy grin 
"Yes.You broke it, remember?"
and
he shakes his head and walks silently away.
and she silently cries
eternally.
and he
would never
see

How is it that a girl so young can write so beautifully and with such passion. Hell, the fact that you're only 12 and you know what melancholy means (btw, I had to scroll up to make sure I spelled it right):P. A beautiful poem sweetpea and so very touching. 10 from me.

haha thanks ac... this one is soooo old, almost a year, and i just sounded a little whiny and childish, but anyways, thankyou :)

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
