Left Behind

I've tied twisted lines around my broken heart

Turned waiting into a form of art

Painted on a crooked smile

Hung the tears to dry awhile 

You say you want to be heard 

so you write your hollow words

You crave their attention 

to feed your addiction 

But I know the truth

You stabbed me from behind

You tied your own noose

And I know now that Ive been left behind

I loved the strength of these words dear poet.
"But I know the truth
You stabbed me from behind
You tied your own noose
And I know now that Ive been left behind"
The above line. Solid, direct and honest. I liked them. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

A new favorite of mine for sure! I felt every line here and that feeling of just wanting to be heard, this huge message you have for so many, and yet no one seems to care. The second verse is my favorite line and just a great line in general for all of poetry. It's a bitter, guttural hurt and you captured it so well here.

Change herd to heard.
I do that too. I type from my phone sometimes and don't notice the help my phone gives me.
I like your poem, keep it going.
