Heart Warrior

Sarcastic, cynical, pedantic.

You will hear this

But you won't believe it

It is not part of you

It is just a top skim

A brief look

Reality is buried within

Checked for later

(be sure to keep your stub)

It is just communication after all

Like everyone else

On the outside

You don't always get it right

But within you it is always

True to the target

A laser from the heart

To one you love

To one you care about

To one you admire

To one you love again

A heart warrior

You keep firing them constantly

You wish you could hit them all

But you only hit a few

At least that is what you sense

From the responses

Or the lack thereof

It stems from a desire to touch

With impact

A desire to reach hearts

And remain

With affection

Consider these lyrics:

"I'm a gonna hit that bar

Goin downtown again.

I really need to hit that bar

And I'm gonna take Fair Oaks Boulevard

I feel like I'm someone prepared to get down

And I need that something gonna' turn my frown upside down.

I feel like I'm someone prepared to get down... and I need that something right now"

Someone else's lasers

Fired with the same intensity

I'm gonna do a better job

Of picking up on someone else's sincerity

I'm gonna avoid hanging labels

Spare the Sarcasm

Spare the Cynicism

Humor the Pedantic

I'll try.
