Old Emo Poem

Going through some old papers and shredding stuff, I found this partially-completed emo poem I wrote, probably sometime in 2005. Yeah, I was sad a lot back then.

Lonely heart
So frail and cold
Needs shelter from the storm
A shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold
It needs a roof to keep it warm.

Lonely heart
So meek and mild
Needs to learn to take a stand
To look the world right in the eye
But sometimes, it needs a helping hand.

Lonely heart
Afraid of change
Wishes things could stay the way they are
So that no longer would it have to wish
Things were different from afar.

Lonely heart
Without an anchor
To hold it in its place
It quickly turns from those around it
So none can see the tears that stain its face.

Lonely heart
Caught unaware
Of the pain that separation would bring
Wishes it could find a way
To teach itself again to sing.
