My heart is broken,
it needs to mend.
The words, I’ve spoke,
it had to end…
but now I’m lonely,
I feel mislead.
I want to hold you,
And kiss your face.
I want to take pleasure in,
your sweet embrace.
I close my eyes,
and dream away…
this way I can have you,
this way you will stay.
How dare you tell me,
that you’ll never leave.
How dare you mock me,
and make me believe.
Those words you said,
ring in my ear,
they whisper softly,
“There’s nothing to fear”.
But now you’ve left me,
my dreams stayed behind,
my heart you kept,
this love has turned blind.
I’ll never tell you,
how much I hurt,
although it kills me,
although it hurts worse.
The pride inside me,
is all I’ve got left,
this fire inside me,
in the center of my chest.
So I’ll wrap up this message,
into a billion folds,
and lock it up tightly,
with silver and gold.
This way I can keep,
my heart from more wounds,
and keep it from turning,
that ugly, pale blue…
*This poem is dedicated to all of those who have survived a heartache, but chose to let love live… in hopes to receive all that you were promised “once upon a time”.

You know, every time I read one of your poems I am always surprised by how amazing they are. You would think that after the first couple, I would learn by now to expect something incredible. But, alas, I was once again taken aback by another magnificent poem.
ReplyDeleteI really like this one because it is a different side/topic then the other ones.
This poem has so much emotion behind it. I noticed I was wincing and gritting my teeth while I was reading it. You have the remarkable ability to express your feelings in a way that others can feel them too. That's a difficult thing to do in real life, and even harder via written words.
I really, really like the ending. I have read and re-read it a couple times now. It is so brutally honest and raw, and it is wonderful because everyone feels that way sometimes. Everyone pretends they are ok when they are not, ya know?
I'm not sure if this is a new poem based on how you are feeling right now, or if this is an old one, but if you are feeling down remember:
you aren't the only one looking at the moon.
