Useless Heart

What good is a heart That exudes much love? When it can rot with pain, Make you go insane With a little push or shove. It’d be so much easier To rip it out of your chest. No more feelings, No more disgusting mess. What good is a heart When all it does is break? It just shatters on the floor And you’re left with Nothing more. What good is a heart When it does betray All you know all, All you think Just goes away. What good is a heart If you give it And get nothing back. Others shove you down Destroy it without looking back. What good is a heart If you can’t control it No matter what you do. It goes off on its own Never comes back you. What good is a heart? Yes, it may give life. But only a life Filled with strife, Is no life at all. Why does a heart Always have to feel. It’d be so much better If I could cast it away, Get rid of it with no delay. If it was gone, I could move on And forget all the pain, All the sorrow, I think it’d be better To be vain. To be unfeeling. How grand that would be. I could live my life And truly be free. I would never have to worry, Never have to care. Never have to feel Like I have to beware. I could do whatever, Go wherever my feet take me. I would never be at risk To love again To have it all, Just to be broken In no time at all. ©
