Lost.

I fell in love at a tender age,
My life so lost within a rage,
That I lost myself and without hope,
I took the life I had, a joke.
 
I gave myself away to a boy with no morals,
With this relationship, came many quarels, 
Little did I know what he did,
Sold me out to a life of sin. 
 
Mere months later I got the news,
Of how I broke the fragile rules,
Of how my life would forever be changing,
Stuck with a life full of arranging.
 
The doctor confirmed it herself,
Making my life lose it's wealth,
I was losing my future to a baby without one,
I was losing what I had to become.
 
My mother wanted me to say goodbye,
To a life I've never seen cry,
But I couldn't just leave it all behind,
A life I just could refuse to try.
 
So ran I did, away from the death,
Ran until I was left without a breath,
Until I found a place that was cold, 
Something I knew was very bold.
 
It didn't matter anyways, 
I lost the life, I guess I payed,
Ever since I have ached,
Never gone a day not baked.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Been there, done that. Be careful who give your heart to, because it could ruin you. Great write.

powerful piece here!

This is a beautiful poem, and you've described all the feelings perfectly.

Jess, this is beautiful. I see and feel the pain you're expressing; leading me to feel the sense of lose that probably cannot compare to the pain you feel constantly. This is excellently constructed and beautifully written. Fantastic job, my dear. Time helps ease all wounds, even if they never heal.

omg... i can feel your emotions through this, and i can relate to it in some ways more than others. but i'm sorry you had to go through this, life can be so hard. but we will make it through it. the tougher the journey, the better the stories we have to tell at the end of our lives.

Such a deep, emotional poem. It put tears in my eyes as I read..
"been there, done that".
You write with such finesse, yet filled with brutal pain and truth.
