Shattered

This is how it feels when your heart is broken

So many things I wish I could have changed
Maybe then we wouldn’t be estranged
Shattered pieces of me is all that remain
My life will never be the same
Heartache and emptiness inside
My tears and pain I can not hide
Ever haunted by words I long to voice
Fear of your rejection leaves me without choice
Your absence cripples me with despair
My heart is broken beyond repair
Your love is all that I yearn for
And will until I breathe no more

like with your other work i reviewed today, this one is thematically one i relate to.
there is an interesting contrast - the first was describing the physical sensation of grief, while here the focus is on the mind. which one is worse? that's hard to say - but there is something to be said about psychic pain and regret.
i hope you are feeling better now and not ruminating on this. as for me, i dont think about it much any moe but nothing good has happenened since either so, it looks like there'll be another long march ahead.

The emotions in this are real..not as acute and unbearable.
It's strange. I have never been able to express my feelings (especially when I am hurt and definitely wouldn't tell anyone)...but I able to write about the turmoil within me...my English professor would be amazed

Hindsight is 20-20....only if we could have done this or that...it is so disheartening to feel the way you do....it's crippling in a way....to feel rejected and pain is like being trapped in a car under the water...no way out...yet after the original shock of anger and humiliation...sometimes we can move on and not look back, yet it takes time and many tears....thanks you for sharing!
Warmly, B

I would be lying if I said my pain is gone. I will probably always hurt over this..I try to keep those memories locked away.

[Betty Hermelee]

that is a good idea…. you’re working out out as best you can…Bravo!🌷

When love is estranged and there seems no repairing the damage that has been wraught it is shattering and leaves and emptiness that is described quite well in this poems

Thank you. I wish I could say this wasn't derived from my own emotions...writing helps me more than anything has.

Writing is a great way to get out inner emotions in a creative and positive way.

Thank you for reading this.
I tried to express how I feel.

That definitely sounds like a broken heart to me. The emotions, the emptiness and the emotions were felt strongly in this.
