MATTERS OF THE HEART

The matters 

The matters

of the heart 

Ones begging 

For dear life 

DEAR LIFE !

I'm writing to you 

In BOLD LETTERS

ALL CAPS 

2025

I LOST 2,025 

Friends and relatives 

Why is this so relative 

You said it was a gift 

But its more like a curse 

I feel so bad 

I Want to curse 

Because 

Things are getting worse 

I PUT YOU FIRST 

Feeling last 

When would this all pass 

Never felt like this 

When I WAS  20 or 25

WHATS THE MATTER

Its my heart 

I want it  TODAY 

Why not !

FRANK SINATRA 

Had it his own way !

So my matters

 of the heart 

Doesn't matter  

It never did 

So many times 

In my heart I hid 

To work for the poor

Instead

I chase what many 

Would adore 

Always wanted it more 

Then my faith in you 

So let the matters

 Of my heart

Be found anew 

Let it show 

As it speaks 

 Affection with love 

For your righteousness

And peace....
