Broken

It started with a glance, this feeling I got when I first looked at you,
Then I sat beside you and watched your mouth as your lips started to move and words came out.
It was strange, it was unknown to me, I couldn’t explain it.
I can barely describe how to put it into words,
It was like a ball of happy energy that grew inside me.
I had never felt it before.
I liked this feeling. I hoped it would never end.
Every time I saw your face,
my heart started beating like a fist was squeezing it rapidly.
We talked for days in every way we could communicate.
You became the person I wanted to tell how my day had gone.
The conversation never grew dull,
always new, exciting and funny stories to tell each other.
I tried resisting,
but I couldn’t stop myself from liking you.
With every breath you took to tell me something, my feelings for you grew.
Never did I think I could find a person that I had so many things in common with.
Your likes, personality and sense of humour all alike to mine.
I knew from this it would be hard to find another like you. I wanted you to stay with me,

But I should have known not to have got sucked in,
Not to have taken my feeling out of the cage I had locked them in for so many years.
The same feeling I had said I would never feel, came back again.
A feeling of pain, but not a pain that shows on the outside, a pain deep within the mind.
A pain that doesn’t fade after a few days, it lingers on and when your face comes to mind it grows again.
I use my music to drown out the thoughts, it helps for a while.
Only for me to put a song on that reminds me of you,
A song that we had listened to together,
a song that you had sent me.
The thought of you rips the wound open again.
There’s too much of this pain,
this unknown feeling I can’t handle it.
I wish the only word that we had said to each other was hello and goodbye.
But that would have been too easy.
I now know when people say to me when they miss someone that has gone,
That feeling of something missing, something that has been lost to the chapters of time.
Now I try to instead think of the happiness that we shared together.
These are the pieces that I shall keep now and throw the bad thoughts out into the darkness
And hope that they will be lost forever.

Beautifully haunting poem! Thank you for submitting for all about love contest!

I may be late in saying so, but this is really good. I'm usually really picky when I do reviews, but I couldn't find anything to say. I wasn't going to review at all but I thought I might as well. I liked how it didn't rhyme as much as some of your other works, and even though it didn't, it still flowed like a good poem should. I like how there are two parts; a somewhat cute and upbeat part and then a more sentimental and emotional part. I can't say I can relate, but it still made me feel, so good job. I apologize for the uselessness of this review, but I honestly couldn't find anything to critique on.

I wrote this years ago, this was my second poem. I know how you feel, I'm Crap for reviews. Never know what to say. Yeah I wanted to show two sides to it. I appreciate the review, thanks Coeur.

I can relate so much to this. I love reading things that really make me feel, and I can honestly say that this did.
