Be Still My Heart. Poem by Fay Slimm

Be Still My Heart.

Rating: 5.0


Be still my heart.
Be not disturbed, as violently
Your beats reverb with passion unforeseen.
He who pledged a lifelong love
Has undervalued words, ill-said,
And now has fled, without a backward
Glance at all that might have been.
Be still. my heart.

Still you stir in angry disarray.
This lover who you thought you knew,
Who called to say his bags he'd packed
Has coldly flown away.
His love turned out untrue.

Be still my heart.
He never did nor never will
Deserve us. Me or you.

This very beautiful, poignant, sad, and moving romantic poem was a delight to read and savor, Fay. It is written so wonderfully, with great word selection and imagery it's whole length. Your concluding words were brilliant! Carl.

A lovely poem Fay, hearts heal, he has nothing that belongs to you now, only empty memories of what could have been.regards Bob There is an emptiness felt when they depart because they've wrenched your heart apart that pure love more precious than gold will wither with in him for years untold
