Self destructive

When you’re knocking on a door

Whom do you expect on the other side?

A person whom you thought you can ignore…

Or the one who cracked your heart so  wide…

 

Turn back to the beginning

And get lost in the crowd

So you could relieve this confusing feeling

And your lil heart is beating sooo loud…

 

Why won’t I ever learn

To know better….

That there is no return

Once a heart takes a header

Beautiful! That was very deep. I hope to be able to write like that some day. "Turn back to the beginning and get lost in the crowd so you could relieve this confusing feeling and your lil heart is beating sooo loud" was my favorite part. Most people can relate to that feeling. I love the way you put it into words so perfectly.

I lost many before finding a good one. We need patience and to know what we truly need. And you are welcome.

The language is light, and even a little bit amusing, but the topic is full of truth. Well written Ana.

Thank you Noel......not my finest work i'll admit........

I would disagree. This is a fine poem. Many seem to think that poetry has to be all deep, and full of metaphor and meaning. However in this one, keeping the language simple, showing a little sense of humour, it was entertaining, and at the same time conveyed your message well.

thanks, you're the best :)

Once a heart takes a header" - "To err is human". The answer is surprisingly simple. We have to accept that we are only human. . We commit mistakes. The hardest lesson in life is to learn which bridge to cross and which to burn.
good job :)
