My Heart Lets Me Live

Deep down in the heart, you destroyed me

I had no reason to live.

I always thought of dying

But forgot you’ve already killed me from the inside.

My tears that fell were innumerable,

I couldn't really stop them

Or else my smile would be killed.

I wanted to breathe

But there was no air with me.

I wanted to jump, I wanted to climb,

But I couldn’t,

Because every time you criticized

But I have to live,

 not for avenging you or to stop my tears.

It’s the motivation to my dreams

That stops my downfall and makes me alive

Hard to get-up but we must.
"But I have to live,
not for avenging you or to stop my tears.
It’s the motivation to my dreams
That stops my downfall and makes me alive"
Sometime hard times make us wiser and stronger. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Incredibly relevant to my life! Love this ending "But I have to live,
not for avenging you or to stop my tears.
It’s the motivation to my dreams
That stops my downfall and makes me alive" which really adds to the poem instead of giving up to life...Keep making your art!

Very nice poem, it really demonstrates the frustration of letting go of someone you loved. In the end, nothing is eternal, even those feelings, and that's why we should just allow ourselves to live until the feelings go away on their own.
