‼️SCRATCHES ON THE HEART‼️

‼️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 PaulaG
