Just Let It

A rural mom told me to fill my heart with warmth.
An urban dad said to cram it with tears.

They told me so many times 
what to do with my heart,

eventually


at a certain point


I just let it sit empty.


And nobody was mad.

    so short and sweet and for some reason i feel the short posts are the ones taking risks and this one paid off.

    im getting wordy but im such a fan.

    I agree with the others, sometimes the lack of words adds so much more meaning to what was said. This is brilliant. Stay golden
