A Human Heart

by Sam M. Phillips

Hand me a tissue

To wipe my nose,

I don’t wish you

And yours any harm,

See the rows

Of graves like a farm?

.

I seek to disarm

You with my tears,

We share the same fears,

I wipe my eyes,

Everyone cries

In the silent

Hours of the night,

We let vent

To the emotions that might

Cause commotions

In our constitutions—

.

Our intuitions

Go into overdrive

To make sure we survive,

But we all arrive

At the same human place,

We all strive

To save face,

But we cannot ignore

What is at the core—

A human heart.
