Heart Didn't Mind

All those things love didn't care about
Are much more relevant when,
Tossed back, 
No longer wanted,
Life makes you decide again
Whether to go on believing.

The flaws
That didn't spoil the diamond on the ring,
May add up worth considering,
When,
Fallen out,
You have the chance to fit a different gem.

All the problems love didn't care about
May make it not worth the fight,
When love breaks up.
Despite it wasn't by your wish,
Or that you think it could be fixed,
A voice whispers,
Gently, to your heart...

"After the grief,
Be comforted by this,
It may be for the best left apart."

Thank you for your comment Nigel
I know this isn't what you mean, but as an aside, I always find it uncomfortable when I can hear or feel the movement of my own heart beat, but it is always so magical to hear or feel someone else's heart beat.

Thank you also to everyone who has clicked 'Like' for this poem
