A Heart Dead

My heart

In all its agony

Has died

And feels no more

I watch

Heartlessly

As friends suffer

And wonder

What it's all about

Why

I ask

Can I not feel

Any longer?

Dear Michael, Great poem. I am amazed at the strength of the heart regardless the pain it endures. It somehow has a way of healing itself as time progresses. While it is nice to get to a place of healing I don't think I would ever want to get to a place where I don't "feel" with people. Your poem inspired me and maybe - just maybe - I'll write something along those lines. Keep it up. Shane (all the way from South Africa)

A beautiful poem, short and to the point. I think that we all feel that our heart has died at different parts of our life and we feel numb to others. I love the flow of this poem. This is a great work.
