broken

I wrote this poem when I was broken hearted obviously.

 I am numb inside exept to pain

I smile, I laugh, I pretend to be happy

For them, my friends

my problems are not their's to be delt with

I didn't use to be this way

I use to have fun

smile, laugh, play

even more when I met you

you...who made me

smile, laugh, play even more

I loved you, still do

I should have told you when I had the chance

but I was afraid and unsure

I've thought I've loved before

I was wrong

I know now the sharp pain in my chest when I think about you now

the pain I feel when I think of you with someone else

I also know the the bliss of just being in your presence

the joy of just talking to you about nothing at all

that I believe is love

I would be happy just to have you back for a little while

or do something to fix what I've done

but that is not what you want

so I will go numb to feel nothing so that you will be happy

that I wish above all else

A very relatable poem with words that give an insight to wisdom. How often do we look back and learn, and then realize what we needed to know then. Such is life, I suppose. Yet, it doens't make life any easier or peachier for those living it.

A great piece of Ink!

You have described your feelings so well. The numbness, the pain in the chest,
all symptoms and the consequences of 'love gone wrong'. A wonderfully heartfelt write. Thank you for
submitting this to my "A Chance to Shine Contest"!
