Sara's Poem (Broken Heart)

Wrote this one about four years ago right after my ex broke up with me. It's kind of hilarious now!

Sara’s Poem (Broken Heart)

 

My heart’s breaking into a million pieces

And I don’t think I can get you to understand

My mind has been thrown toward the farthest reaches

But still I want to hold you hand

 

All of our memories are still locked safely in me,

All of our times and the things we said we’d be.

These things I never want to let go of,

I know if we try we can find our way back to our love.

 

I’ve pushed you so hard

And bent you so far

I know your heart is scarred.

But please don’t leave me

My emotions I need you to see

 

So long I’ve held you back,

So long I’ve pulled at your heart.

Nevermore will I keep you from your dreams and the things you need to say

And I will always be here at the end of the long hard day.

To help you with all of the pain,

Nevermore will that beautiful heart have to strain.

 

It’s so quiet here I can hear my heart break,

I can feel the jagged pieces tear my soul.

I can’t sleep without you, so tired I feel my mind ache,

You are the only thing that ever made me feel whole.

 

No matter where you were you could reach me

No matter what you said you could release me,

From all of the things that bound me

From the things that hurt me when you found me

 

Now all alone again I can see

You truly are the one who set me free.

I always thought of you as the one to stand by me

But your heart was broken by me

 

I locked you out when I was scared,

I pushed you away with the fear.

Even though I held you so dear,

I could never seem to let you near.

 

I always wanted to be there,

To give you strength to lean on me.

So I could be the one to hold you up,

To make you feel free.

 

 

No more do I want to keep you locked from my heart,

This is something I never wanted to do from the start

But now I’m afraid it’s too late

For it seems me you do hate.

 

I can’t just let you walk away,

There are so many things that I want to say.

We shared so many things – the joy and pain

And sometimes we even shared our tears.

But now I want to share so much more,

I want to share my sadness and my fears.

To give myself as a whole,

To not leave you standing there in a hole

The crater of my unshared emotions,

Where you must feel so cold.

 

But now I am afraid it is too late,

You won’t give me another chance.

I’ve pulled you in too many directions and beaten your heart into the ground,

And now I’m the one who is so cold.

 

And now I beg for another chance to show,

How much I do love you.

But these words are spoken and make no sound,

For it seems with me you are through.

 

Please look into your heart and mind

So that maybe you will find,

That streak of love I know still lives in such a shattered heart,

So that maybe we can make a new start.

 

I wish for another chance to reignite that spark,

To shine a light on what now is dark.

I need to tell you how much you mean to me,

To show you with actions that you can see.

 

You know I love you,

Forever and a day and even longer,

This time I know I am stronger.
