This Ol' Heart Of Mine Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

It's not the tears
streaming down from your eyes
Maybe it's not exzctly
the sadness written on your face
or the sorrow you carry within

It ain't fair
with all those foolish games
when it comes right down to the heart

And you say
you're damn tired of feeling this way
there's got to be something better
Don't want to hurt anymore
pick up all those promised broken pieces
Take those unwanted painful emotions away
get back on dry ground
insted of sinking into this black abyss

Not this time
once burned is enough
for this ol' heart of mine
Just keep those pick up lines to yourself
and turn back 'round
There ain't no romantic promises
words built on one sided fantasies
Those things won't get me
or this ol' heart of mine

So just laugh it off
tell your friends those little lies
That you could have had me at any time
whatever, it dosen't matter
'Cause you'll never have
this ol' heart of mine

Now heartache can drag out
long past that point
when everything should be mute
So baby, lets make things quick
you pretend that I don't exist
move on, find someone else

Don't concern yourself
with what others may think
I can take care of myself
better than you could ever do...
