Heart of Gold

I only wanted a Companion,a Lover and a Friend,

must've been too much to ask because it had to end...

To be with me takes Honesty,don't Judge a Book by the Cover,

it would've been nice to know if you only wanted a Part Time Lover...

Few have ever held a Poets Heart in the hands,

Why then discard it and Cast it to the Sands ?

We make our Own Monsters,by Hiding From Our Past,

Never Feeling Loves warm Sunshine, peeking through Grey Clouds at last...

I only wanted to show you how fun life could've been,

must've been to much to ask, for a Companion,a Lover or a Friend...

I only wanted to Share Life until Our Hearts Grow Old,

Now I build My Own Shell to Hide My Heart of Gold...

There was something desperately good about the poem, not good in style, but good in content and authenticity and sincerity of feeling that I simply coulnd't ignore. I debated at length to cut the poem from the rankings, such as it was, it squeaked through, but a top 10 you realize out of 60 is no mean feat.

It's cliche, but transcends something by your hardy talent for honesty.

Lovely but sad....hope you find someone to share your heart of gold with.....whoever left you was not the right person for you. Don't give up the search!
