Words the heart keeps.

Once you turn your back

there's no return.

I used to say iam used to it,

but now i really iam.

I rather say a short good bye than none at all.

Close the doors of my heart 

and stay in my dark room.

There where it is silent and,

it's just me and my thoughts

alone in the dark. 

But even then i wouldn't

have found the solution to my heart.

So i have to liberate my mind so

my heart can finally break off the chains.

[   The first part is much more of the poem than the downside.

But my thoughts overflowed and i kept writing. The poem is finished but also kinda not.

I feel like it's missing something but i really don't wanna force myself to write something 

i do not feel.                           ]

                                                                

It's hard,

very hard.

But a bird can't stay in the cage forever.

He will sooner or later want to fly.

Fly so high that he will feel the winds breeze 

in his arms.

And then he can finally feel that he is free.

Our human mind that can't let go of the emotions

of the heart caging it for so long 

that the pain keeps going .

And you keep going everyday without healing the pain.

Stupid human, you are much stronger than your emotions

and you still don't know that.

Leave your heart to do it's one job and that's it.

Feel when needed.

Ah but the pain makes you grow,but also weak.

Choose the best way to use your emotions.

If you have mastered the mind you have got everything.

Matters of heart are difficult, who said it was easy.

It looks like that from some others point of view,

but only when you have experienced it yourself.

You do finally understand. 

Author's Note

I haven't been much inspired lately so this is what i came up with today.
I did my best. Words of the moment.

I also would like to do a two part poem with someone.
The first part is to be written by the other person and the second by me or something in between.
Let me know if someone wants to do it.
Kinda like a collaboration between two artists.

Your two-part poem, with author's comment embedded, is a learning exhibit for other writers on a writing website. I love to see this -- sharing our process with other writers -- & you're remarkable for being so open & non-judgmental toward yourself for having this uncertainty & sharing it. It's a lesson in just accepting where the muse takes us. The muse told me to write a weird line this morning & I almost changed it, but I kept it, then Jacob (masterful English Teacher we all look up to) picked that out as the best line in my poem. I still don't even know if I like that line, but that's how it came out! It's good to show this to other writers becuz many grind for days & weeks trying to "perfect" a poem! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This is full of experience that's been analysed into wisdom. I prefer it written like this, more as a musing or philosophy, than an actual poem. Sometimes, I just like things to be said as it is, not beautified with rhymes and pacing.

I agree with your thoughts and can relate to them.

I also wouldn't mind a collab. Never tried it before, and if you dont mind letting me try with you, let me know... I feel like we're on similar wavelengths in writing style.

I like this, thanks for sharing.
