I can't ignore the pain of desire <br />and have no story to tell <br />of a life we built on lies <br />and pretend that love here dwells <br />I can't fight to belong beside you <br />when my heart aches to say farewell <br />or continue in sleepless nights <br />waking no more than the shell <br />of a beauty that used to linger <br />inside your loveless spell <br />and I can't give myself to someone <br />without giving my heart as well.<br /><br />Brittney Heck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-heart-s-story/
