stubborn heart

listen to me
heed my advice
its safe no more
to fall for them

no, listen please
don't be stubborn
your stubbornness
only will hurt you
make you spend
your tears for
unworthy courses

would you listen to me?
at least just this once
for last time you blundered
your pain i had to share
believe me its not
funny at all so
stop laughing

remember how
ailing you were?
you were just about
to cut the silver cord
yes, that time with her
you would have taken
me along with you
and am not ready
not just yet

so believe me when
i say you need a break
you might have healed
yes, but the scar
the scar could turn
again into a fatal wound

forget about doctors
they too can administer
a fatal injection, so
stay away from them too

alone you may be
but not necessarily lonely
so my heart, don't let
me down...LISTEN !!!
