A Broken Heart

A broken heart, blinded path,
Swollen eye, a tear drop sly,
Flowers die, the memories hunt,
I wonder why I still always cry,
A broken heart, time to get high,
I rather drown with pride,
Than dine with a lie.

A broken heart, you stole my time,
You ripped my joy, made me your toy,
You went raw when you want,
First to break the barrier,
Went soft through the door,
A broken heart, I no longer laugh,
An heavy mind, my emotions refuse to hide.

A broken heart, healing starts,
Back on track, mind intact,
Tears stop, no longer drop,
Heart is strong, smiling doesn't feel wrong,
A new day, the pain is gone
A broken heart, a new start.

I can tell that you've certainly felt heartbreak through how well you've expressed it here! One cannot just write about a feeling or an emotion without having been through it themselves in it's purest, rawest form ,no matter what anybody tells you, it's just not the same! But I can tell apart the real and the fake and this my friend... is real. Good day :)

[Olumegbon]

I love the imagery of this line "I rather drown with pride,
Than dine with a lie." Even though our heart is broken, it's better to stay true to yourself than sit with the lies. Powerful.

It is a lovely poem, you have written a great poem about love; ending with an upbeat emotion; the way someone was treated harshly and then the healing begins. Well written great rhymes. Thank you again.
