The Helpless Heart

Over the bricks of emotions,

There laid a home of heart;

With some seen and unseen cracks,

Cemented with smiles and tears.

Each day it took to build,

Was a length of time chosen;

That streamed over and over,

With a galaxy of thoughts.

What does it cost is hard to tell,

As there was no count of efforts;

They simply flew like a free river,

While the mind sank in it.

Well, it was unconditional,

With no expectations of return;

All that mattered was a glimpse,

Of a smile that spectates from far.
