Without a heart: a poetic story

[Dancing Tiger]

Can I ever give my heart away?
I'm afraid God sent an angel from Heaven,
Sent them to earth to steal my heart away.
I suppose He saw the future,
God, who created all, Knew what would happen
And sent an angel to help prevent the future.
But I remember asking Him, Can't I love someone?
And His answer came slowly, ever so slowly,
Didn't you know that you already loved someone?
So I took my time and thought about it,
And found that I indeed did love,
But even though it was true, I lost it.
Lost to another my heart, which became a broken heart,
And God again sent me His angel.
I said, with tears in my eyes, take this broken heart.
Take it forever so I cannot feel
This tearing apart of my body
And I gave this angel my heart that I may not feel.
But before the angel left, it spoke to me,
Telling me that someday I may love again,
And not to fear this broken heart He'd someday give to me.
So off the angel flew, taking my heart to mend it.
And I was happy with the promise God left me
About how someday I'd have my heart, He'd mended it.
