the passive heart
is that of one who is a lover and not a fighter
and there are a multitude of sad realities surrounding this
the passive heart
is easily molded and folded and manipulated
it bends and moves with every wave of love
it wilts and sinks with every instance of hate
the passive heart
is not passive when it comes to love
it loves fully and with all of its mass
the passive heart
goes as a hero unsung through life
the skin must thicken and the muscles grow strong
for then the cuts words inflict won’t slice quite as deep
the passive heart
referring back to those sad realities I mentioned
the realities being that these kinds of hearts
people like to test as they know that
the passive heart
will give too much room to be hurt
over and over again
pretending to be fine out of hope that things aren’t truly that bad
and I should know
for how would I know all of this
in detail and so vivid
for you might’ve guess that I too
well I too am inflicted with the simultaneous blessing and curse of
the passive heart
