Oh, heart: <br />don't make a <br />nuisance <br />of this. <br />Bury these emotions <br />deep inside, <br />and don't let anyone through <br />your fortress doors. <br />You've borne enough, <br />too much, <br />and if <br />exposed <br />any longer <br />you will feel heartbreak <br />once again. <br />Make yourself non-existant, <br />your presence dead; <br />you can't hurt what <br />isn't there. <br />Bury these tears <br />so no one will <br />find the <br />weak spots. <br />Turn your heart <br />to stone, <br />cold as winters. <br />Barracade your soft spots, <br />and destroy the past. <br />Annihilate the incubi that <br />haunt your pitted soul. <br />But most of all, <br />forget him: <br />the one with you <br />cradled in his unabashed touch.<br /><br />Melissa Joy Chesky<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-heart-2/
