For what it's worth

In the most secluded part of my heart you lie

In all honesty I never believed in us

But for what it’s worth I did love you

This works on a lot of levels... I like the double-entendre of "lie" in the first line especially; it nicely merges the sweet and sedate with the dark and fetid, especially played immediately afterward by "in all honesty", itself rendered dubious when arranged this way. There's no questioning the sincerity of the last line, though. A nice nugget of deception, self- and otherwise, from which truth finally emerges to dry its wings.

Why

Just a simple question: If you loved someone, why do they now lie in the most secluded part of your heart? If you loved someone, they normally live in your being forever. If you loved someone, why didn't you believe in them? Please explain. I have loved and lost friends (and my small dog last year), but they will always be part of me and my love for them will never fade. This is the difference between true love and infatuation.

I guess because of the feeling one get's when she loses hope.xD It's sort of stupid...I know.xD but it's sort of complex too, when she lost hope, she was losing love too, so it's sort of like losing a place in your heart. 
 
But if you don't lose hope, then you'll never loose someone in your heat.xD

Sorry, but what does xD mean. I just can't figure it out. 
The poem sounded like a sad,slighty cynical valedictory. 
 
"But if you don't lose hope, then you'll never lose someone in your heat" 
I think we're in Readers Digest territory with that. 
cheers

haha... I don't know what xD means, I don't think it has a meaning, it's just trademark, lot's of us do it though.xD 
 
Haha, I'm sorry but I don't read reader's digest, I think my dad read's it though, I found one or two lying around the house one sad day.xD 
 
hugs and kisses and the best of wishes

For what it's worth, I like the "secluded part of my heart" line. To me, secluded suggests it's a part of your heart that you don't visit alot anymore, because you have now moved on from this particular person. (perhaps because of the lies and lack of faith in that person as a result of the lies??). 
 
But that still doesn't mean to say that you don't love them...
