Purpose of tears

Stephanie Showers

 

Copyright©2014 Stephanie R Schubert

************************************

Maybe it's silly

To leave your heart so wide open

That the slightest thing

Can cause it to break

But I don't know how else to live

Without my heart I am nothing

All these tears

Well maybe one day

I will understand

Their purpose

Only then

can I stop guarding my heart

    I wouldn't say it's silly to live with an open heart, I would say it's courageous. A broken heart is destined to fix itself. Nice write x

    To be alive requires an open heart. Trying to live with a closed heart is like speaking with a closed mouth. To appreciate love and to emanate love we need an open heart. A closed heart shuts out love and hoards what we have of it. Live openly and be free. Loved your poem. - Phil A.
