Broken Love

This poem is about all the ways a single person can suffer from a broken heart a a single time.

Broken, trapped, alone.

Left confused and unprotected

Wandering why you can never just be

Scared of all the choices you've made

Looking at him and knowing

You may just be friends

But you love him and don't know why

You wish your feelings were different

But then there's the other

Just as perfect, just as sweet

You're torn between the two

Knowing you can never be with one

And can never fully love the other

Crushed, torn, confused

All at the same time

Mending your heart from your last love

The one you gave your all but got nothing in return

Learning to trust all over again

Not knowing if its trusting yourself or others

Loving three at once

All three can never be

But wishing all the same

Broken, trapped, alone

Your killing, unrequited, Broken Love.

This could have come out of my head, or my heart, i dont know which.I loved it write more

This was so sad. Even though it's free verse, there's this great flow through the words. Your last few lines in particular were very strong, and very well worded; my favourite lines being:
'Loving three at once
All three can never be
But wishing all the same'
Good job, thanks for sharing!

*sad face* Liz... This is depressing... But, aside from that, it is a good poem. Maybe a few tweaks here or there, but yeah... Good overall. The last line smacked my in the face... In a good way... Keep writing, babe.

For your first, this is excellent. The emotion it holds is very vivid, and as a reader I can relate in some ways. The last four lines in particular were lovely. Keep writing
