Love Poem: Separated Heart

Separated Heart



Forgive the urgency,
but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

Lyrics from the song, “Look After You”
by The Fray 


You didn’t have to go, 
you didn’t have to slam the door
Careless whispers from so-called friends
has you angry and confused
But this isn’t the way it should end

You did leave me next month’s rent,
“Don’t burn the bridge” is a smart policy
Life can be funny in a sad way ...
Just never know if you might one day
have to walk on a bridge of tears back to me

I love you so much,
and maybe I didn’t show it as well as I should have
Forgive me for that
You don’t owe me no apology,
I just want you back
Right now I’m suffering 
from a broken heart attack

What did I get so upset about?
I guess because I cared so much about you,
I hated that you let your friends have a say
in what goes on between us two
It’s our relationship,
they’re not living on our time
They got their own life to live,
quit interfering in yours and mine

Come back to me please,
lets talk and straighten it all out
A separated heart is not good to have,
it leaves jagged scars
Time doesn’t make it heal right,
unless it’s a clean break ... no prison bars

My sun doesn’t rise, 
until there’s an end to this lonely night
Mend my pulse whole again,
make my separated heart murmur right
