Love Poem: Hearts Decay

Hearts Decay

I hear the words that are spoken
To understand them I do not
I feel the pain that's unspoken
As my heart has cut them off
           ~?~
To many promises were broken
As the lies kept being said 
My mind remains unbroken
But my heart is surely dead
           ~?~
Trampled on by many
This I'll not forget
They say that there is plenty
But my heart will have to shed
           ~?~
The bubble that now surrounds me
Protects my heart itself 
The noose that hangs above me
Hangs with deadly stealth
           ~?~
Forgiving is said to be easy
But not for the damaged heart
It holds on to the negative 
For the mind controls this part
           ~?~
To find the closure needed
To be on my merry way
I hope I find that open door
Before I find my death day
           ~?~
For the heart will surely heal
Is what they always say
But my heart is broken
It is dead and has turned 
A deep dark gray
           ~?~
The mind will keep me going
In ways I do not know
It has become the liar
That's now ecstasy to my soul
           ~?~
I pray to Thee above me 
To return my heart of gold
I fear that He has left me
In the streets all alone
           ~?~
If He's truly listens 
I think I'd like to say
Though my heart may be broken
My love for Him will never decay
