A heart is a funny creature
Yes, the heart is definitely a creature, with a mind of it's own, an agenda all it's own.

It beats for the one you love
Stops when you lose the love
And never, ever starts again.

The heart is a terrible thing
Something to be feared, perhaps respected, if you've got time to waste on such things
Such as love and devotion
Trust and honesty
However, in our world, these are words of the past
Thrown out by the dictionary to make room for words such as dishonesty and untruth
Hate and cheating
These are the words you have taught me
Why are you surprised that I live by them?
Do you not understand that the very heart you gave me has been torn to shreds infront of you?
When will you learn that the anger I feel is mine alone?
You cannot ask to take this away
You cannot help with what I am dealing with

Stop trying to give me a heart
And help me find a mind to replace it.
