Bleeding Heart

   I loved you through thick and thin.
I loved you through sickness and health.
I gave you the heaven and stars.
I gave you me.

I sat with my heart on my sleeve.
Bare to all.
Now I sit with my heart bleeding in my hands.

I regret every sleepless night I wasted on you
All the tears I wept.
I regret every breathe I shared with you.
Every love word that I gave selfless to you.
I regret the trust that I gave you.
I regret the vows that I honored.

You thought I was the fool.
You thought I would never know.
Your problem was… You thought.

I will go on living
I will go on believing
I will go on trusting
I will go on…
And Without You.

This is a strong poem that shows resolve and that you will go on and never look back. That's a great way to handle things, if you can't move on, you'll never go forward. Great write. T

Wow, this is passionate and powerful. You definitely got it out there well.

Very impassioned write. Nothing much I would offer to change. It has passion, emotion and power. Great recovery!

I love how impassioned this felt. I like this line: "Your problem was� You thought" it has a biting quality in my mind. I also admire the strength shown at the end. This piece is going in my favorites.

So, tell us how you REALLY feel? LOL -

All kidding aside - this a powerful-punch-in-the-gut look at how betrayal affects us. Excellent job.
