Ballad
My Heart
My Heart My heart is gentle and loves to love. It loves life, loves beauty, and it would wither if it could not love. A friend to all who love, my heart knows no hatred but can be angered and then made peaceful. It cannot sever ties; it’s too delicate, and to cut off love would be to cut itself. It feels wounded and could die, its spirit revived only by the grace of those it holds dear.
