How to grow a heart.

Ripped my heart from my chest
Laid it in the ground to rest.
Fed it sunlight, feed it love
Hoping it would rise above.
Past the rooftops, past the trees
Past their beautiful green leaves.
To the highest point of life
It would reach up and recite:
I see a lover, searching somewhere
searching for you to say they care.
To stare into your bright, blue eyes
And speak not a single word of lies.
To vow their love and tell the truth
No promises they couldn't prove.
This lover is searching high and low
But they know not where they must go.
Just to kiss you on your sad, soft lips
and hold you by your aching hips.
To tell you are beautiful every second of the day
And trust you though they know, you've made a few mistakes.
I sit here with my planted heart
Praying soon the growth will start.
Wishing, hoping, begging, pleading
This miracle, i should receive it.
Pounding soil with my fists
Crying tears and throwing fits.
Dropped on my knees and started to dig
scrambled through dirt to find it within.
And to my displeasure, my heart, it had died.
And could never grow, there was no love inside.
So now in my chest, there lies a hole.
And out in the yard, there lies no soul.
I am a body with no love to share
Because I tired for just that and got left in despair.
