A Few Wise Words

An old man,

of 72 years of life

told me once

not too long ago

not to wear my heart

on my sleeve,

but I never learned

because my heart was

always comfortable

where it was.

And now that

my heart

is on the floor,

weak and mangled,

I am left

with nothing but

the thought of

a few wise words

that would have

saved my heart.
