This Heart Without A Home
Learns to roam about
The agonising pain and sorrows of a newly broken heart
Shattered, as she finds herself completely on her own,
An empty barren vessel, cracked and chipped carelessly
Once so full of love but now this heart has lost it’s home.
***
The trials and tribulations, anger and sheer frustration
Screaming and wailing as her heart cries in despair,
She has placed it in a cage, chained with lock and key
The days of loving gone, since no one really cares.
***
There will be days whereby, she’ll see a visitor or two
But this is certain to prolong the agony and pain,
As they may stay a week or two, a month at most
But none of the visitors will ever choose to remain.
***
Look around and see, there are those who know the truth
So as not to affect their safe little lives, they hide away,
With no interest or compassion, to lend a helping hand
As it cannot be allowed to affect their perfect day.
***
They have put in the time and effort to build their lives
With their superficial friends, to keep loneliness at bay,
In their safe bubble, they can take on the gossip’s news
Of who is in or out, and who’s in love with who today.
***
So persevere she knows she must, and goes about her life
Disillusioned dreams, no longer believing in fairytales,
She’s tempted to give up on love, close and lock that desire
To safe guard herself and allow her broken heart to prevail.
***
Yet she understands eventually, that she’ll need to try again
Throw herself in the deep end, leaving behind all her doubts,
Firstly, she needs to search for a safe and comfortable home
But for now, she’ll put up her guard and learn to roam about.

Electric Cars Are Not an Answer to Climate Change
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m not anti-Electric Vehicles. And I’m not a climate change denier. But those thinking that EVs are going to have any significant impact on climate change are letting emotion override logic.
