Broken

about Matt. wrote right after he broke my heart the first time when we were 17

People say the pain will eventually ease,
But I'm the one crying hot tears like these.
They say I'm young, and I'll be fine.
But they can't feel what's in this heart of mine.
They tell me I'm a kid, the "love" wasn't real.
But they don't understand the pain I feel.
I'm physically sick, I can't sleep, or breathe, or eat.
So I lay here and cry, I admit defeat.
I give up, I'm broken, you win.
I thought I could trust you, trust you to the end.
But you threw my love away without even a care.
And when you did, I felt my heart tear.
A punch in the chest, a slap in the face,
And what  you've done to me can't be erased.
We were just fine, we'd never had a fight,
And being away from you doesn't feel right.
One text message, and you ended my world..
All of a sudden, I wasn't your girl.
We "talked" on the phone, you were silent, I cried.
Little did you know my spirit had died.
You gave me an excuse, a reason so cheap.
But i know there's more, in your heart, down deep.
But you wont say, and the decision is final.
So I sit here and cry, still in denial.
We were perfect together, now a piece of me is gone.
And every time I see you, it's hard to go on.
You were my first true love, I was yours too, your first kiss.
We thought we would marry, not end up like this.
And people say you're stupid for letting me go,
So why am I the one crying? I don't think I'll ever know.

This was a sad poem and very very true.... Older folks often look at young love as foolish, but they don't understand that the heart is involved... I feel your pain and I am sorry you had to go through this....Just remember thoug love will come again and You can make it through this.

You know what. Kids as well as adults feel love. We know the feeling. As a child I lost my father and I felt that love i had for him die. So kids do feel love. Everyone does. Don't let anyone tell you different. This is well expressed emotion.
