You say you love me, but it doesn't feel true.

I feel unloved but only by you.

My beating heart slowly trying to die

Why can't he truly love you, I hear it cry

I tell my heart that I really don't care.

It replies with a rapid rhythm I can hardly bare.

Your not unloved, its you that can't feel.

You try to hard for his heart, but you can't steal!

Earn his love by being yourself and showing you care.

Only then he might give you his heart to share.

Ok, I reply, I will try all the same.

But if it don't work, it's you I will blame.

It replies with a beat, telling me to take a stand.

And off I go to find him, my man.

I see the man I really want to love me

But my beating heart doesn't agree

Why don't you like him, I ask my heart.

Its not that, it says, it's you that's doing that part

How can that be I ask confused

Because my dear, there's been to much abuse.

What can I do to change it I ask my heart.

Just kill yourself, I've been dying from the start.

Kill myself, why would you tell me to do this?

Because my dear, I'm so broken and I was pissed.

So did you mean it, I ask my heart with a tear in my eye.

I'm just your beating heart,it says with a sigh.

If you don't find love for both of us soon

We both will die this afternoon.

Ok ok I'm going out to find him now.

Well hurry up it answers with a big POW.

I'm dying, your crying, let's hope he feels for you.

Cause if he don't this all will fall true.

I search and search but with a bit of luck

I find him kissing another! Man this sucks!

I feel my heart give a few sad cries

Before my eyes close and we both die.

This is just a fun little humorous poem i wrote about a woman's heart fighting with her and trying to guide her to happiness, but ends up messing it up over and over. Initially the woman ends up failing and dying of heartache.
