RE: "We Must Not Play With Hearts" — My-Niche Contest #1 / Theme: Regret

in #poetry7 years ago

I love the line "for who can calculate what they are capable of." The extreme shapes hearts can take are alarming, and, like tongues, they can cause irreparable harm, either to their owners or those that the heart is leant to.

Thank you, for hearing me. Yes, that’s why we must be very careful with what we say or do.

There is a quote that struck me, by Elie Weisel:

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.

Sometimes, the hardest thing is having to hold love back, to protect yourself, until you find that over time you have have grown to care less for someone you once admired or adored. Pity...

That's an awful thing.

It's funny that you mentioned Elie Weisel. I've been reading his book Messengers of God. I'm a huge fan!

I’m new to EW, but recognize the profundity. Enjoy book ✌🏼
