bittersweet is what i call it

King Of Hearts

Don't look confused
What I hold in my hands
Is my heart and it's for the taking...
While others are afraid to expose their hearts
I offer it to you, asking nothing in return
A offering between friends

I have received many precious moments from this heart
From this very heart
When I was lost
It would show me the way
When I was a coward,
Even scared of my own reflection
It told me to press on
Victory is in the Heart of Champions

I see you are in need of my heart
And it's in need of You
I have no more use for this Heart
I just simply want to exist without Joy or Pain,
For I'm already a dead man walking and
It would be a great travesty if I kept this Heart
In my void body

Please take it from my hands!
It deserves better than Me....

Wow you write as if your self is an entire landscape surrounding you and you can disassemble parts at will to pass on to others. Intriguing ideas.

This is a good poem. It is a sad one. You can't help but feel sorry for this person. Good emotional write.
