Your Heart Will Tell

You will never know
the loss of your heart,
until your heart tells you
of all the emptiness within it.
Then in the quiet of your own thoughts
your inner self will become part of you,
as a person,
and your mind will be as clear as spring water,
and your thoughts will be
from your heart and soul.

Only when these three are united
will you then
shed the true tears of sorrow.

The soul is all of you,
the thoughts are part of you,
but only the heart
will make you a beautiful person,
or a very ugly one.
