Simple Steps to Saving Your Heart

There are those of us that have desires

Desires to be happy without risk

To put those things that hurt us

Behind ourselves for good

 

There is a way to be happy

As many of us know

It is this wonderful emotion

That us mortals know as love

 

But love is as sour as it is sweet

And with that sourness comes bitterness

And the bitterness turns into anger

And eventually loneliness

 

There are simple steps to prevent yourself

From becoming lonely and mad

They may sound bittersweet,

But I promise it will help in the end

 

Step One, Be Honest

It is as simple as that

Always be honest to your love

And it shall be returned

 

Step Two, Show Caring

There is no need to be a wall

A mindless, spineless, emotionless wall

You need to return the love

 

Step Three, The Backup

In case one and two do not work,

It is always good to be wary of what may be

The End is as close as the beginning.

 

If the end does arrive, embrace it,

Embrace it with as much passion

As you gave your lover, it will hurt,

But the Hurt will only be for a short while.

 

The hurt will help you move on,

and not be ****** into the vortex of hate

And how can I tell you these steps, you ask?

Simple, I live them day by day.
