    Man Without a Heart

     I've lived my life 

    All you may see is this old broken man 
    ambling along the street 
    To you I'm but a lonely soul 
    with no friennds to meet 

    No woman lingers on my arm 
    to warm me with a smile 
    and every weekend you might see 
    me reflect on this awhile 

    I've seen the light of life dim out 
    I have fought on foriegn shores 
    I'm haunted still by specters of 
    Lives lost in those two wars 

    I know loneliness quite well 
    both hell and heaven above 
    and spent my life devoted 
    to but just one love 

    So do not be so quick to judge 
    and tell me I'm too cold 
    to lived and lost so much in life 
    but yet retain a soul 

    I've lived my life

    Amazing!!!!!! The way you built toward the finally gave me great expectations and it did not disappoint. The poems draws on so many emotions, and shows the importance of friends and family over the entire spand of life, as well as how memories really do last forever.Very good job.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
