Happily Heartless

best friends and the art of moving on

I'll take your heart

and bury it deep with mine

we'll lock them up

so we won't have to hurt

like we have been

then we will stand up

and brush off the dirt

from our scars

so we can live

in zombie-like bliss

no heartaches

no cares

screw the opposite sex

let's just be us with the world

and leave the drama behind

our minds will keep us

seemingly sane

and that will suffice

until we are ready

to get back into the risks 

of caring again

then you and I

will go down to the graves

scratch away the muck

with our bare hands

gently place our hearts back in

and prepare for another battle

don't bury your heart for ANYONE!

[Silver Silence]

thank you :) it's grand hearing how the story tells to another, and a very good phrase for it, too.

and to not burying my heart at all, it was more of a healing the heart, getting over someone, and moving on, 'tis natural

This is a really great poem. It is beautiful and has a sadness in the way that it tells of a parting of friends and the need to pretend it doesn't hurt to keep sane and rational. Reminds me, sort of, of the phrase "Fake it 'til you make it." Soon, the two will come together again and be truly happy, but until then they just think it better to keep focused on other things. Great job!
