Heartbroken...

"For a few minutes you made me feel as though I actually meant something to someone."

Tears spread like the cracks...

The cracks that spread through my heart...

That were there in the beginning...

You remember? The ones you mended...

Those cracks, breaking and bursting at the seems...

Bursting to the surface, spreading into lines of red...

This time your hands do not mend...

Your hands break everything that was left of me...

Breathing left heavy...

Eyes burning red...

Like the blood lining my skin...

How can you not know the pain you cause...

How if you ever read this, you would be so shocked...

You have no idea what you do to me...

How you can leave me feeling dead inside, but so happy on the outside...

I guess its true what they told me...

What I knew all along...

Giving your heart away can only bring you pain...

My trust in you has left me heartbroken...

That's the problem it seems, to give one's heart to another means to live without it, or be destroyed. Very vivid imagery and emotional diction made a very thoughtful write! Great job! I hope the scars of love don't scare you from it's tenderness, only time can heal the wounds so deep seeded in our hearts that only our eyes can tell of it's existence and our lips tremble at it's remembrance. :) Keep up the good work!

It was so painful to read this right now.......but then poetry that makes the emotions flow has done its job well........such it is with your poem.

[Amie Rose]

Reading this, really made me stop. It made me stop what I was doing so I could really experiance what you portrayed here, the hurt and pain.

[Elsa Novel]

[Emmanuel]

Nice. Leaves you thinking and regretting

[B-poet]

Giving away the key to your emotional treasure chest to the wrong person can leave you heartbroken indeed. I like how you conveyed the inner pain of being heartbroken in great depth. Your talent is very special. Nurture it well.

[Kaylor Mason]

When I read this, my heart felt a few pangs in sympathy. I loved that line of Eyes burning red like the blood lining my skin--that has class, in silver-lined script. Nice work! :)

[Sugar and Spice]

Thank-you :)

[Shauna Jacqueline Ander..]

I can definately appreciate the realism here. Even if your with someone for years and grow old together, ultimately one has to die before the other...However you look at it love ends in heartbreak. Will be reading more.

[Sugar and Spice]

Thank-you for your appreciation, but also for your words of wisdom, I didn't actually realise that when I wrote this :) so thank-you, its always lovely when a reader finds something the author didn't know :)

This is so deep. It very nearly brought me to tears. Extraordinary poem. Well done. I do believe thus deserves a round of applause! Or apple sauce!

There is such an agonizing pain that swept over me here... reading your words and feeling the emotion of despair and wonderings that rose up... the wounds that were healed and then once more pierced through... No amount of questions can ever bring true resolution when a friend who loves deeply betrays that love. So powerfully shared.
