the huiman heart

by zara - Aries

What wonderous mistakes,
the human heart can make,
confronted by the choice
between two loves.
When called upon to choose,
one broken heart must lose,
unheeded,left,
and tattered in the dust.
The love that lies there torn,
while seperate love is born,
conceeded and defeated,
feels the pain.
The lover who moves on,
and leaves love dead and gone,
to run again to love
must wear the shame
for love is rarely true,
and everything we do
is tested by the mettle
of our souls,
True love does not abandon,
it needs no feet to stand on,
it's wings enough
to give it hope of flight
love's precious burden given,
so often comes comes unbidden
should be held with gentle hands
and not destroyed.
But human hearts are frail
and human love grows pale,
choices come to all
through fate and life,
the lover who is leaving
and the lover who is grieving
the lover who is new
these all are tied,
a loving heart can promise,
but who really knows what love is,
the lover who abandons
kills the light,
and once the word is broken
and night-sweet words unspoken,
the lover who is dying
knows the truth.
for new loves promise lies
and each time born, it dies,
cursed from it's inception, 
to repeat.
