Auto Heart Repair

Truer words were never spoken,
purer motives never found;

I tried to heal a heart that's broken
from the hurt, in which 'twas bound.

Speaking simply, and directly
anyone can ease the binds;

that untangle, and set heartstrings, free
to relieve all troubled minds.

But, I've never had more troubles,
and as articulate, as I am;

I hate to burst your bubbles,
but, I couldn't speak worth a damn !

It was difficult to swallow
my big foot was in my mouth;

my train of thought, so hard to follow
that all logic soon went, south.

Public speaking done in private
is an art form I must, "hone";

because, I tried to mend a heart that
while still hurting.....'twas my own.
