My tears are not for you,

I have been crying for days.

My heart is not for you,

It has been broken for years.

I am not sure what is wrong or whether

there is a cure.

I don't have the keys,

but it doesn't matter I can't find the door.

I watch the horses go up and down

from my car on this merry go round.

I want you to look past all my pain.

I have a heart that wants to love again.

I wear my heart on my sleeve,

but I like it there.

I get to feel things that are usually a heartbeat away.

This is a very good poem. It expresses the same ideas and themes of love and pain that encompass many, many poems on Booksie... but it does it in a new and interesting way. I like the imagery and the way the poem flows.

Gee that really touched me and stired up my emotions I can really relate to it with these passages: It has been broken for years.
And then : I don't have the keys,

but it doesn't matter I can't find the door.
And finally this next part is truely how I am feeling : I want you to look past all my pain.

I have a heart that wants to love again.

I wear my heart on my sleeve,

VERY WELL DONE KERRY XXXX
