People Break Hearts Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Is it what it really is.
Or what it was with a wanting,
To forget.
That innocence displayed taken away.
By another to have hidden,
Some other agenda unseen but intends.

People take.
People break,
Hearts.
To do it over again.

Approached with a belief it is honesty.
Approached with a hope it is meant.

Is it what it really is.
Or what it was with it needed to be returned.
Wishing the doing will eliminate past regrets.
Yet...
Knowing it will not be easy,
To forget what was given if the return leaves...
One with the same lesson not to have learned.

People take.
People break,
Hearts.
To do it over again.
People take.
People break,
Hearts.

Approached with a belief it is honesty.
Approached with a hope it is meant.

Is it what it really is.
Or what it was with a wanting,
To forget.
That innocence displayed taken away.
By another to have hidden,
Some other agenda unseen but intends...
A destroying of an innocence given.
With an intent it will be forgotten.
And a forgiveness to give,
Comes to mend...
Those left with broken hearts, again.

People take.
People break,
Hearts.
