Pity The Heartless

Pity The Heartless

"

Pity the heartless.

Pity the heartless

wish on them well

Follow not their teachings

for them time will tell

__________________

Echoes of mercy

not for us, but for them

Is the essence of virtue

from which love will stem

__________________

While night is asleep

sunshine will be mine

I'll relight the candle

that made my heart shine

__________________

With that all the demons

once loosed upon me

Be chased back to Hell

and set my soul free

__________________

I can't say if

but I can say when

I'll pickup my good heart

to love another again

Author's Note

Tate Morgan
There was a time when my heart was cold as ice. Long before I remarried and had recovered my life. But I found bitterness too hard a hard pill to swallow. Thankfully time marched on and the better angel of my nature took control of my heart leading me to happiness again. When I first wrote this poem I was so deeply distressed. That day I decided to make of my life something new. Tonight while thinking on those days I went through my thousands of pictures and gave my exwife those that I thought she should have. A peace offering I suppose. Though after a few drinks I have to admit the song from Iris Dement had me laughin so hard. That because it is not human nature to let go pain and grant forgiveness. However I shall try not to dwell on past misery. I am trying very hard to let go the hard thoughts and swim in the river of forgiveness and grace. To those few people whom I loved and who dared to love me.
Thank you!

By the way just imagine the genders are reversed in the song above.

I really liked the idea of the poem and a lot of the imagery. It was very well written in that sense. My only issue was that it didn't flow that well; it was kind of choppy. Perhaps free verse would have been better. I did love the hope of the last two lines. Keep it up.
