Sometimes The Heart Is Cruel



Sometimes the heart is cruel
Falling into love at the drop of a hat
And breaking
Just as quickly.
Yearning after that someone
That hurt it once before
But you forgave
Anyway.

Sometimes the heart is cruel,
Ignoring the mind’s plea for mercy
And going on,
Only to get hurt once more,
Knowing no fear,
But that of being
Alone.

Sometimes the heart is cruel,
Pleading with the mind
For someone- anyone!
To take away
The unbearable loneliness.
To find the one
That will be there
Always

Just Look



Expressions as fleeting
As a freak thunderstorm
Fly across my face
While I savor them
Deeply
Inside.

Not given to judgment,
Or instant dislike,
But she
Just rubs me
The wrong
Way.

A constant irritant,
Prone to
Contradictions,
Making my poor
Head
Ache.

Anger flares,
A strange feeling,
But soon gone,
Leaving me empty,
Once
More.

Only to be reminded
Of the pain left behind
The next day
When it happens
Again
And again.

The only thing I ask
Is a
constant.
Why can’t she
Just
Look?
