To Not Know Love

The forsaken heart
Is one that cries in pain
And alone
Even in the light
As it is among others.
It is dry
Without the flowing blood
Of another
Beating side by side
To repeat the 
Sounding drumbeat.
It is devoid of life
When deplete of love
As that remains
The main ingredient
For a strong
Eternal life.
