A MESSAGE FROM MY HEART by Mary Cathleen

A MESSAGE FROM MY HEART  by  Mary Cathleen I thought it was what I wanted. You promised me it was. You took me in your arms And told me it was love. I knew it wasn't right, And I wanted it to stop. You told me not to worry. My efforts were for naught. You told me it's okay, That everything is fine, That what we had together Was something more divine. You said we'd never part, And so I made my choice. I went against my heart And listened to your voice. And like a child, I heard you, And like a slave, I obeyed, And like a fool, I believe in part That you meant what you say. But now I'm left all by myself, A flower trying to stand tall But to no avail; I push myself For my petals just wilt and fall.
