Is love still alive?

Is love still alive?

A Poem by Fariha Tahseen Karim
"

The heart captured silence when it was with you and now there are lots of cracks that I can't sew

"

You sla
pped me and tore me apart
I was outrageous but couldn't hear the pounding of your heart
When blood poured out and you needed help badly
I controlled myself and just looked at it sadly
I tumbled and was almost falling on the sand
But I held a tree branch instead of grabbing your hand
When the air grew colder, I refused to take your coat
I would never call for help even if I was in a wrecked boat
When it was 2am and I was walking home
But I refused to go with you even when I see the kidnappers roam

I bit my tongue when I see you cry
I am trying to solve our puzzle but I just can't try
Because I remember you say "No one can take you away from me.'
But then you left me saying now you're free
You said I was wrong, when I used to be myself
You moved away, when you knew your presence might help

Didn't you see me crying at the stairs of your house
You took a bird's eye view and sneaked out, like a mouse
The sky crashed on me when you said you moved on
I waited for the sun but the sky was sunless even at dawn

You have a good way with words that you can verbalize the break ups and quarrels that people have, a mature way of looking at things and etc

The dos & don'ts, what you have & dont have, what you want & what you get in love...never starts, is or finishes how you would always dream it to be. This had me thinking about those things from my past experiences. good one ;)

Thank you so much!
It's deep and very sad. The expressions of love, betrayal, anger, agony etc are used very powerfully. There are a couple of lines where rhyming seems to be forced, but overall it's wonderful.
Thanks for sharing...:)

Felt Like Reading Some Eminem Song Lyrics... Ur way Of xpressing emotions is so simple yet it gives such a needy impact on readers.

haha...thanks a lot...
I liked this writing very much... I certainly felt the turmoil. I think my best suggestion which I give often is to re-read this piece to yourself out-loud... See the areas that flow even and smooth racing you into the turmoil and which parts stumble or cause a pause...
In this sentence: I tumbled and was almost falling on the sand
Try taking out the words (and was) by changing it to :
I tumbled almost falling on the sand... If you read it out-loud both ways you will see what I mean...
I love these two lines :
When blood poured out and you needed help badly
I controlled myself and just looked at it sadly
AND: I would never call for help even if I was in a wrecked boat
you might try something like... I would never call for help even in a sinking boat
Just a few suggestions... hope you don't take offense... A very... very nice start..

Your writing holds a haunting, poignant quality... I loved your style and your flow.

I have a suggestion for a correction: ¨ "No one can take you apart from me.' ¨ I would suggest saying ¨away¨ instead of ¨apart¨

Beautiful pen friend! :)
