The Heart Is Deceitful

And Often No Help

By Earl W. PearlPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

I’m remembering back to our wedding day

When I married who I never meant

It was wrong for my heart to give me away

Since I never did give my consent

In love, I’m a coward, yes I was afraid

It did damage that tore us apart

I hated the fact that your love I betrayed

But you never had me, just my heart
