The Trusting Heart Poem by Dorothy Parker

The Trusting Heart

Rating: 2.9


Oh, I'd been better dying,
Oh, I was slow and sad;
A fool I was, a-crying
About a cruel lad!

But there was one that found me,
That wept to see me weep,
And had his arm around me,
And gave me words to keep.

And I'd be better dying,
And I am slow and sad;
A fool I am, a-crying
About a tender lad!

Heart that doesn't burst when in thirst for most needed love in thrusting heart, never knows what humanity is. Excellent thinking. X
