Shattered dreams

It's about a girl who just lost her first love. She is expressing her pain and love in what she feels, is the best way. Which ends, tragic as it is, She taking her own life.

You were my everything.

My sweet something,

I adored more then anything.

The melody my ears love hearing.

 

I long to hear those three words.

Those three beautiful words,

That possess so much power.

Those words you only spoke to me.

That's when my dreams had shattered.

 

You had said, "It will last forever".

Our love, our happiness,

Our wonderful life together...

But it didn't last forever.

 

Was that how much our love meant to you?

A symbol of the past. A lie never said.

I never had the chance to say good bye.

I didn't want it to end like that.

Do you not remember? You said forever.

 

My friends tell me,

You're a thing of the past.

That I should find a ladder and climb it,

Because you're never coming back.

You shouldn't matter anymore...

 

Even though it's true that you aren't here,

And my dreams are totally shattered,

I will always believe you matter.

Like you once said my love...

Our love will last forever.

Author's Note

I'm not sure how to feel about this one really. I mean, I am feeling so many things about it that I don't know how to put it into words. I put more time into this one because I can sort of relate to it --even if it is my poem(lol)-- though he wasn't my first love and he didn't die, it still kind of hurt how he stop talking to me and just left.

You made me feel the pain that you must have been feeling as you wrote this, which is the mark of an excellent write. Well done!

your describing something that alot of us have, unfortunately, felt at some point. sometimes its easier for us to express our emotions by creating a sittuation that isnt true, but embodies the emotion perfectly. and getting over a first love is never easy. epscially when they wont even ignolegde you. sadly it makes us feel worthless. but a good write. honesty in poetry always impresses me. well done.

by the way, in your 5th stanza it says "That I should find a latter and climb it," should that be ladder...? just wondering.
