Oh Dear Heart Poem by Tiana Isaac

Oh dear heart
I know you want to share
I know you want to be knitted with another
I know you want to smile so sheepishly
I know you desire to skip in love
I know you want to fall in love

But I also know you don't want the betrayal
I know you don't want the lies no more
I know you don't want the games
I know you don't want to be treated careless

Oh dear heart
I still remember how battered you were
I still remember the tears filled nights
I still remember the deep pain
I still remember the unexplainable hurt
I remember all

Yet, you chose love over hatred
You chose to care again
You have choosen not to hold on to all the wrong

Oh dear heart
If that's what you want
I promise to stand by you
I promise we'd do it right this time
I promise you'd be happy again but this time you'd never stop smiling.

We'd sit at the beach together laughing at the times we made the worng choices
When we craved what wasn't ours
When we thought it was meant to be

Oh how we tried harder than we should
Begged when we should have walked away
Cried when we should be sound asleep

Oh dear heart
All of these pain made us stronger together
And together we will love again.
