The Strength of a Broken Heart

 

I can look at a bleeding heart, and turn my face away
To the face of a crying child, there’s nothing that I want to say

I’m blind to the emotions that used to disturb me before
Physical discomfort no longer feels half as sore

Not even does the fear of death scare me
But conquering all this pain hasn’t come for free

My feelings have turned numb since we parted ways
Since then my palette has only known dull grays

The death of togetherness I have always to mourn
But a broken heart is the best pain killer I have known


Separating from you was my worst nightmare

Now that it has come true, everything else hurts less.

The death of togetherness I have always to mourn
But a broken heart is the best pain killer I have known - Wow! This is so beautifully sad!
A broken heart not only symbolizes pain and sorrow, it also symbolizes strength to carry on with this life, to carry on with a heart even without its beat!

I often wonder why does it hurt so much when we lost our love, may be because we loved them so much that we forgot to keep a little love for ourselves T-T

this is pretty rough to read for me right now. there were many a great line in here:
"My feelings have turned numb since we parted ways
Since then my palette has known merely dull grays "

and then this next one was my fav:
"But a broken heart is the best pain killer I have known"

i guess i've never thought of a broken heart working this way, which seems pretty stupid, but the way you put it here is so different than most love poems. a completely different angle you take.
great job

wow.
So expressive, so full of emotion, and rhyme and rhythm... it flowed with broken beauty and left me breathless as I hung on every word.

I agree with Jaded Perception, this was very expressive! Very good too! :D

powerful and emotional, well written.. I see that the expressions are getting more and more as time goes on. it will be ok, this passionate writting is just really good right now...

Wow, the words of this are very true, once you gain numness, you realize that the price is pretty high for it. Hopefully you will have a chance to refund that purchase and gain love back.

The good part about this is, now that the relationship has ended, a new hope for tomorrow can come after the shadow of pain is but a memory. It was well written.

[Jessica]
