My Heart Is Cornered

I am almost here but you were never there

I can cry a river but will that make you care

Rain drops freeze my lips from saying

How much I loved you when everyone dared

Falling amongst the sound of your words

That pours as tears down my cheeks

My heart is but a mirror of broken dreams

As I dug my trench to bleed

I am nothing more inside

My heart is cornering away from me

So emotional, and thoughtful, I can't help but admire the intensity with which you wrote this poem. Every word has been beautifully written, and seems like it has been hand-picked, chosen carefully, and this shows exactly the fragility of the heart, and how we bleed love and suffer from ignorance as it goes "Falling amongst the sound of your words that pours as tears down my cheeks". This is so beautifully written, I really enjoyed. However, heartbreak is just a phase of life, we all get over it, and eventually, life mends it. :)

Wow. I can't believe how accurately your words describe my present mood. Its short and yet, so easy to relate. I love this.

Well written good poem, what I especially like is breaking up the lines so that just one word hangs over for the the new line, so it has clever emjambment, as well as a very vivid last line, a hammer metaphor.Well done.
