Personal Reasons

I need a reason

to breathe.

All that really matters

is I don't feel you anymore.

Don't you know you're holding

my whole world

in your hands.

My heart still aches

alone at night,

remembering our love ending

even without a fight.

You were all that

I could see.

Loving me

was all I needed

for my single

et

  er

    nity.

My life isn't over,

but it might as well be.

Broken heart and

shattered glass

resting upon the floor.

Blood drips from my chest,

causing me to be so

damn

help

      less.

You were my reason

to breath.

Gone is where you are now,

alone is what I am.

I still feel your heart's beat

in the palm of my hand.

You think it's for the better,

but darling, referring to whom?

To you or me,

if only you could see

this pain brought upon me,

myself, and I.

Just a little poem I came up with ^^

I have always wondered why this particular emotional pain was referred to as a "broken heart" - I think I understand better now - thank you.
Well done!

This poem left me speechless. I can definitely relate to it. You expressed the emotions of a breakup very well, especially one that leaves you missing the other person. Great job!
