~Falling Apart at the Seams~

I�m tearing and falling apart at the seams
Giving up and casting away all of my dreams
Crying out and weeping till my tears run dry
I hang my head and watch the world pass me by
Seeing you around breaks my heart in two
A beautiful woman on your arm walking next to you
My pulse races as our eyes start to meet
Standing and staring as you pass me on the street
Seconds go by and I have to tell myself to breath
My hearts in my stomach as I watch you leave
Vivid flashbacks flow through my mind
Our perfect love frozen and stuck in time
I Dial your number just to hear your voice mail
But when a woman answers I hang up and bail,
Making my already fragile heart break once more
My body gives way and crumbles to the floor
Why is it so easy for you to just walk right by?
Without painful memories or one tear in your eye
I build myself back up and start to repair
But my whole being shifts with just your stare
Why can�t I get over you and realize that you�re gone
I�ll just have to except that I�m destined to walk alone...

This is one case where I don't think rhyme is necessary, or may even detract from the point. When rhyme is used it brings order to the subject that prose does not. While we all order our thoughts to some extent to write, the subject is one that causes disorder. So, something to think about.

Awwe sweet one,, sometimes I feel like I am destined to walk alone too, and it hurts. But then I realize that it can't be true. I guess we just need to keep our head up and keep looking and not let things drag us down to far.
This really is a deep and meaningful poem, I truly hope you find your love, you are a very beautiful women and I am quite sure that guys are jumping through hoops to be with you, but I know what its like when the one you love is the only one on your mind or in your heart.

Nice write, I would say much enjoyed but it was too sad,, but still very good none the less..

Love
Me

It always does seem like guys get it easy when it comes to break ups. I think anyone who has gone througha tough break up know exactly what your expressing here.

It is painful to lose people- I am going through that myself right now and I know how hard it is. You did a great job of expressing it- thank you for sharing with us

Painful to lose someone, even more painful when you are quickly replaced. The poem is well written and expressed with great emotion.

That touched me.
I would feel the exact same way if I saw an ex and he just passed me by like he didn't even know me.

I love this piece.

"Vivid flashbacks flow through my mind
Our perfect love frozen and stuck in time"
It sucks when you can remember all the good times after it's over.
Why couldn't you remember them while you were together?
That might have been exactly what you needed to help ya'll stay together.
Good memories always seem to come too late.

"But when a woman answers I hang up and bail,
Making my already fragile heart break once more
My body gives way and crumbles to the floor"
That reminds me of calling my ex once to just check on him.
It was less than 3 months and he had mistaken me for another female.

Damn.
Men sure know how to break down a strong woman.
