Love Is A Restraining Order

Been too long since I wrote a poem

 

 

When you judge

A broken heart

With words too big

For emotions to feel,

It must break

The laws of love

To understand

Why the key can fit

But the lock won’t turn.

A heart, which suffered trauma can not be healed or swayed by mere words; it should be coupled with sincere action. Very well penned!

Good to see you writing poetry again.. You so perfectly capture the nature of love.. of pain.. of finding the passage into the heart.. and of trying to find the best way to bring healing...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you sir... it is good to be writing again.

interesting take on love shared or not shared

Well thank you kindly

I think in line three you meant to write "too" if I am not mistaken.

I thought this was rich in meaning and depth. Every one of us has a past and some of us have it gruesome that it drags with us to our present. It is for us to let go of it, but it is also for our partners to accept us even with our baggage. Otherwise, even with the right key, we may not unlock ourselves fully for our present partner or the following one.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are correct, I thought I put too.

Thanks for the in-depth review.

i love the reverse play on words at the end...the lock won't turn way too often...but if we judge broken hearts...we must be broken inside ourselves...

i really felt this one...and i have missed your words, my friend.

nicely done...did you mean "words too big"? that is how i read it.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much Jacob... So glad you enjoyed it.

[Willys Watson]

Wow! I mean really wow! Love isn't always a restraining order but when applied to unrequited love it certainly becomes one. Beautiful verse.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very kindly.

Ahh, going after a love that does not love you back is not so easy. Yet some are relentless in their quest. (their words too big)
Perhaps the lock has rusted? Or perhaps the pain has calcified its way in?

a great poem to come back with Cowboy!

Why thank you very much. I got the title from an episode of "Dexter"
