No Heart

Romantic Heart from Love Seeds

Romantic Heart from Love Seeds (Photo credit: epSos.de)

I have no heart for this
No heart
My days are trodden down
Dark alleyways
My spirit lost itself
So long ago
I hardly know myself
Or where to go

I have no heart for this
No heart
Belief is not my friend
Cannot be found
I do not even wish
To rise above
This pit I wallow in
I eschew love

I have no heart for this
No heart

    Sad when relationship dies despite trying. That’s how I read this one. Could be about work as well. Though I doubt it.
