Hearts (Love Poetry by Claire F.)
Whatever happened to our hearts?
They used to beat in time.
With love and so much laughter,
Utopia was mine.
We didn't tend them lovingly,
Just let them drift along.
And now the beats seem quieter,
The fading of the song.
Your heart now wants to let mine go,
Beat a rhythm on its own.
No longer needing my duet,
Prefers to sing alone.
My heart's no solo artist,
It can't maintain the song.
Without its loving partner,
It cannot carry on.
My heart will sing the lyrics,
If yours will play the tune,
With a little time our music,
Will be heard again real soon.
This is a love poem written for me by my late partner Claire, after one of those meaningless lovers quarrels that we all have. Suffice to say that i wasn't angry for very long after receiving this poem, and still to this day no other has ever written me love poetry, making this even more special to me.
