Heart to Heart

Be calm my beating heart

Though you have known sorrow

More than you have known joy

This is not the end of the road for you

You have to still have to journey on

Though there have been moments

When you craved for eternal sleep

To just stop beating And give it all up

It isn't the end of the line for you

You still have to carry on

There have been moments of joy

Like bright sparks lighting up a dull life

That are interspersed between

Moments of despair

But still keeping you still

Have to keep moving on

You have known joys 

You have known sorrows

Heartbreaks and valentines

Are friends you have know so long

You may have been broken

And have been trampled on

Been used and abused 

By those who haven't

Known your worth

You've been tempted 

And at time fallen weak

And given into temptation 

Thinking its what you needed to do

And have got hurt in the process

You have shed tears 

For the ones you've lost

Breathe a sigh of relief

For the excess dead weight

You have lost

You've known love

In every way and form

You have learnt to love

Not bothering who and what and when

Sadly at times to be deceived

You built expectations and hope

Only to have them 

Come crashing down

Because you built them on sand

With their foundation not too deep

So at the first sign of a wave

They just got washed away 

But you have never gave up on hope

Never gave up your trust

On what you felt 

Is the goodness of humanity

Even though you have been hurt

Even though you have been burnt

You refuse to learn

Or see life any other way

No matter What 

you may have to go through

You resolved to stay strong and true

Like a captain you commandeered 

Rest of yourself

To stay strong and persevere on

Through whatever life has to throw

Continuing to know love

Continue to beat 

Till it's the end of your time
