My heart sometimes feels

way more than it should.

I ask myself,

why does it always seem

to happen this way?

The answer comes back

in my head to say -

that I am human

and humans are weak

tending to fray,

and thoughts do sometimes stray.

I classify myself as weak,

but really it isn’t that at all.

It takes on a much higher order

which is that of being meek,

so to speak,

often allowing a situation to exist,

a situation I cannot resist.

That is not where the problem lies.

I can sometimes be very wise.

The problem is sharing.

I am more into pairing.

A little old-fashioned some would say -

that may be, but it is my way.

I allow myself to easily get hurt,

even down to a word

that seems a little curt.

I can be too sensitive at times,

that is true,

but I would rather be guilty of that

than to have a hardened heart

that is unimpactable too.
