Without Warmth

He stands alone silently swallowing empty

 

affairs of the heart. Women mocked him severely

 

stealing bits and pieces of his enduring trust.

 

 

For all he had to offer was a pure genuine love.

 

Such an unconditional love, tossed out into the wind

 

of misfortune untouched by a women’s desire.

 

 

Still his hopes desires and dreams, avoiding his

 

fears that he shall remain cold and without warmth.

 

His appearance he knows is hard and worn but his

 

compassionate soul is that of beauty and conviction.

 

 

His vacant home is barely big enough to contain

 

all the tears he will shed, unlucky and misplaced

 

in a life of solitude and the unknown…

Its refreshing to see a man admit to pain, show such raw feelings.
A fantastic write full of such honesty, hurt and hope very well expressed,

Tears relieve the pressures of the unlimited capacity of a heart that aches to love

Joe, you're breaking me heart. This one broke my heart. I think most women are attracked to the heart within, then their man look shines more and more handsome everytime they see him. Lovely write. Brought tears to my eyes.
