Heartaches By The Number

Inspired by lost loves and Guy Mitchell's Heartaches By The Number

My heart feels like it's made of stone,

But I still can feel the burn

Losing in this neverending battle

A game, I cannot win.

 

Heartaches by the number

Everytime I have something to give

They take it all away from me

And betray my heart in the end.

 

Reminiscing all the moments

As I wish upon falling stars

Wondering where have I failed

In each instance of failing love?

 

My heart moves on,

Searching for the embrace of another

Hopeful in each moment

That I won't have to search to far again.

 

But alas, there goes another...

More sorrow and loneliness lurks

In the darkest of my days, I live on

With my heartaches by the number.

I like the term."heartaches by the number." Pain of love lost is like a puzzle. Must be rebuilt and we must start a new journey. Great use of words making the point of this poem come across. I like the ending to the excellent poem.

Tis the way of life and the game of Love. If you are lucky you find that one to settle down with and share the rest of your existence with. Until then it is short happiness and the period of sad pain in between loves. Very good write my friend.

This is definitely a heart-breaking piece. Filled with pain and heartache for sure. It was written with such emotion, I could easily feel the pain of being in those situations as I read it. Great job at portraying such a tender subject!

I think you are to young to know that darkness lurks in the coming days .. Each day may bring new light to life .. A heavy heart is lightened by Love ..

Take Care little one .. hugs .. Jazz
