Heart?

What is a heart?

Should I care?

You've convinced me to drop my mask

And ask

Do I need a heart to live?

And possibly love?

Ridiculous!

I've been doing fine without one

Why should I start now?

It only leads to further pain

Pain that can kill a person

With no trace left behind

To know the cause

But the person who caused it

I ask again

What is the need for a heart?

Surely, I would like to know
