Losing Me (Foolish Heart Pt. 2)

A new chapter with the same story

Why?

Why is the world so ignorant of our own faults?

Why do the people that deserve to be happy,

be the ones to get shot in the chest.

The different chapters of heartbreak

all with the same fateless ending.

 

Im losing faith,

Im losing hope,

Im losing me,

walking through a dark maze with a blindfold.

 

I dont know what to do anymore,

should I be me and charge in for you?

Or do I fear the pain,

so i turn around and walk away?

 

I managed to live through one battle,

that left me a broken body in the dirt.

Through time I pushed myself off the ground,

and started walking to my next destination.

 

I came across an oasis

in what seemed like an endless desert.

There I found somebody different,

an angel in the water, I found you...

 

Months pass and i found myself,

a new person recently reborn.

New hope, new dreams,

new love...

 

But this chapter was different,

this time I cared because I fell in love

not because i fell in love because I cared...

and it felt amazing just being with you.

 

But things changed,

you changed

and we found ourselves being torn apart

because of ourselves.

 

I felt so distant,

I felt so alone,

so lost...

then you were gone...

 

i sat on the cliff overlookng the oasis,

thinking if my foolish heart came back...

the bandaged pieces broke apart again.

An old wound that has reopened...

 

Im bleeding and in pain

but i get up and walk into the desert once again...

To look for you in the sandstorm,

back into the dark maze this time with eyes opened...

 

i dont care if I lose me,

i dont care if I dont make it,

i dont care what happens to me...

As long as my last moment is being in your arms again...

You're such a selfless person. I really admire that. This poem and "Foolish Hear" prt. 1 are both beautiful poems. You but so much emotion in it that I'm able to feel your pain and visual what your going through, and it's not something that fades away very quickly. The feeling sticks with you. That's extremely good. I'm sorry about what happen. You're a great writer though. :D

Woww toooons of different emotions in this piece! Like you go from a kind of cynical curiosity about the world, to depression, to hope with finding love, and then back to depression again. Crazy!!! Definitely an emotional rollercoaster. Can't wait to read the others parts of "Foolish Heart". :D I'm not sure if you want me to comment on this but there were a feeew typos that normally wouldn't matter but I liked this poem very much and they were a little distracting!!! Okay, otherwise, great job! =D

"There I found somebody different,
An angel in the water, I found you..."

so pretty, favorite line!

where is part 1????

[Matthew Kult]

Like most sequels I don't think this compares to the original, but it is a good continuation. I like the word chose, and I like the flow but I did get a little loss mid way through, which I went back and reread. So it may have been me anticipating you going somewhere else. Great read and look forward to the next.
