Literature Text

People have greedy hands,
tearing at tender hearts.
Seeking a piece of soul,
wanting to belong in part.

In the end of innermost desire,
the yearning to contain --
something so pure yet fragile,
only to mistake and make pain.

Those of good and even evil
have dared to tread this road,
only to learn the reason why
people have this endeavor forbode.

Run far and fast my child,
depart from this affair.
Guard your hapless heart,
save your soul to someday share.

This is about guarding one's heart. As of late I've noticed how quick people are to pursuing one another in the affairs of love, yet to scared at the same time. When the fear takes over it leads to pain and more issues. People rush it instead of waiting until the right time and guarding themselves, even those who say they're waiting end up rushing into it and don't guard themselves meaning not much logic is put into something that requires both heart and mind.
