Dear heart of mine

Dear heart of mine that beats within my chest

and works to keep me alive.

I apologize for the wounds and the scars I have

made you endure.

I've torn you apart by falling for someone

who didn't handle you with care.

I've stitched you back together just to

have you broken again.

feelings can be tough, huh?

And yet you and I enjoy the excited beats when

someone catches our eye.

There are times you make me forget to

listen to my mind,

make decisions for me that are one of a kind.

you pump a little faster when you're absorbed 

with passion

that motivates me to fulfill my goals.

overwhelmed with love, determination, and hope,

you keep me going even when

you're bruised.

The pain you have suffered because of my actions,

"I'm sorry" is not enough to make up for it.

I've worn you on my sleeve and have 

allowed others to crush you.

my thoughts have created an overbearing ache,

that has surrounded you, one situation

after another.

you work so hard for me to get up

each day and give me the strength to

face whatever comes my way.

Dear heart of mine,

I rarely think about how much you go through,

so I dedicate these words to you.

I'll carry you with caution and reduce

the amount of blows you take because of others or myself.

Keep striving,

Keep beating,

and while you still do,

I'll do everything in my power to appreciate you,

and fill you with more love than hate.

yes,

that's what I'll do,

until your last beats.
