Tattered Lace

This about being worn down by emotional abuse.

Why does this keep happening

over and over again?

It's like a broken record

covered in sin.

 

The yelling,

the crying,

the finger in the face.

My heart is beautiful but worn out

just like tattered lace.

 

The one to blame is both of us

but you don't even try.

I'm always left here falling apart

and wanting to say goodbye.

I really like this. Short poems are more my preference, and it rhymes well. Keep writing!

The picture you paint is so moving and sadly sweet... The beauty of lace, tattered and torn. The imagery is perfect...

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Very sad but emotionally written, relationships are a two way street and when one never hold their actions accountable then the all the hurt is on the others shoulders, that is to much for any one person to handle.

My heart is beautiful but worn out
just like tattered lace.

The pain comes across well in this poem. Emotional abuse is one of the hardest things to overcome. It is like a tape that loops around and around in one's mind even after the abuse is removed. Stellar job.
