‼️SCRATCHES ON THE HEART‼️
The heart is whole
At our birth
It travels hard
When on earth
It loves
Conspires
It ignites
Many fires
It’s humble truth
Often yields
Like poppies blow
In Flanders fields
The pain endured
Nothing matches
Many scars
From all the scratches
It always welcomes
People new
It always loves
The past ones too
We cannot seem
To shelter it
And yet we try
To protect it
What the heart
Holds onto
Paves the way
To those in you
Many voices
In your head
Some you like
And those you dread
Never fear
It’s just ok
All you feel
Has a say
Teachers learn
Leaders follow
Heart is love
To not is a battle
So much time
And much commotion
Life goes by
In one swift motion
Opened eyes
Every time
Within a blink
It leaves the mind
Entertaining
Influence
Or is it just
Coincidence
A broken heart
Stinging fierce
Wants to die
It’s been pierced
For those of us
Who keep the matches
Keep on lighting
The hearts with scratches
There are spaces
Between raindrops
It takes time
For all the teardrops
Allow all pieces do their grieving
Feel the loss and then restart
Love resumes again once more
With Scratches on the heart
When pain is less
And you feel better
Write your heart
A true love letter
Write to heart
As if you knew
How it feels
When it’s in two
As you write
You will find
Your own words
Can be so kind
To be so gentle
And so raw
Your little self
Likes jigsaws
They are delighted
And so eager
Pretty pieces
Beautiful picture

Beautiful words. Very,very well penned. The heart can be a jigsaw with broken pieces coming back together to complete the whole again.

Thank you for being here R! Your heart is your own. It doesn’t need another heart to be whole. Love repairs it own.
