Left Astray Poem by Krista Dawn

Why has my heart lead me astray
Where it wants to go, it cannot lay
Comfortable, warm, wanting and sweet
Why does my heart play tricks upon me

What I see to be there, can’t be for sure
The love that I feel, would not endure
It is only I who is in this deep
The other I pond for, is not for me to keep

The constant torture which plays in my head
Over and over, it has me broken and dead
How can it be that I have fallen for ‘him’
It never will be and never had been

How do I let go of something not there
The feelings I have, they are not meant to share
Trying to move forward and so far away
But never getting too far because my heart wants to stay

I write it down again and again
But no matter what my heart does not mend
Please help me see that I’m able to move on
And not let my heart break when you are gone
