The Heart Muscle

The heart is a muscle

Its not meant to be protected

Or neglected

But used

Even if at times abused

The heart is a muscle

Left alone, will atrophy

Shrinking to a degree

Wasting away

Left to decay

So let the Love in

Let it begin

To strengthen

You from within

Muscles get injured

Muscles will heal

You sometimes

Have to be torn down

To remember how to feel

So True Romantics

Of this world...

Let what's possible

Become unfurled

A heart is a muscle

To be

Torn

Battered

And Bruised

To leave it alone

Is unexcused
