Hearts break quicker than glass

All it takes to shatter a soul,

is a singular well-placed word.

A single goodbye left unsaid,

even a lone tear shed unnecessarily.

Crushed into dust,

but my broken heart lives on.

He is battered and bruised but he still struggles on.

It does work,

Please tell me it works.

I would shatter any number of mirrors,

to go to the other side.

Just to meet the man I should have been.

What a great well written piece! Shows how you felt at the moment and this piece really does make me feel like I'm living this point in your life with you. I love the emotion that's rolling on and off the page! Great job and keep writing!

[BlankCypher]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[Heartful5160]

Very much so I did! Very creative with your emotions!

I just sort of pile the first words in my head onto the page, I never make a second draft. A poem in my opinion comes out exactly as it needs to be :)

[Heartful5160]

Ummm, I believe you're right! Sometimes we find ourselves making draft after draft, until it's perfect! But with poetry, you know it doesn't have to rhyme or anything. All it has to be is the great imagination and the feelings that you're feeling right out on the paper! I enjoyed it very much!

Your writing seems to be quite short, and it is still somehow more than enough text and each word expresses greatly of how you felt. Marvelous work ^-^

I can tell that this poem has lots of meaning to it. With your words you perfectly described the feeling of brokenness that many have had to endure in their life time. Good job, keep up the awesome work.

[Bee C.]

So pretty, and so deeply poignant. It's the kind of deep soul-searching thoughts that a lot of us go through at some point in our lives. If not for one thing, then how would our lives then be? Very well done. I love it.
