Drifting Heart

T. S. Lewis on Mar 5, 2010

Once a heart breaks the pieces drift from completeness leaving everything incomplete. Please be my missing part that makes me whole.

Her attitude is incongruous

Acts of defense thwarted kisses

A boy filled with charm

Had no idea how to protect his heart from harm

Needles to say,

He tried to win her affection

With gifts of perfection

Filled with tenderness still his love went amiss

She loved him for what he represented

To know him fully meant listening to her heart

But the surrounding sounds

Became her greatest distraction

A heart that once beat louder than anything

Faded into dreams

Only to awaken in a sordid affair

This premonition

Wrote the story of a reality

Only time could comprehend

Reject him once or even a 1,000 times

Eventually his heart will have a mind of its own

Leaving her to wonder why his thoughts often wander

Doesn’t sound like either one of them were fully commited, if the managed to get distracted so easily. Good post.

Even love at its best comes to an ending and a distraction gives it a reason. Well expressed!

Love is special, hard, happy, hurtful, rewarding… it’s so many things all wrapped up into one. Love is tough. Really nice share, thank you.
