How Am I Supposed To Unlove You With No Heart?

Written for a poem competition

How I am supposed to walk with no heart?

 

Thats what I thought when I hung up

 

I didn't lie when I told you I wasnt crying

 

I was merely dying

 

Alone in the room, listening to the voice I thought I knew

 

Watching our plans fall, my future empty, ridculously new

 

How am I supposed to breathe with no heart?

 

Thats how it felt that night in the bed we once laid in

 

I did lie to them and told them all I didnt care

 

Because I did, I do, I always will

 

If I focus on something else, the pain is just an ache

 

But more often than not it attacks me, and its all I can take

 

How am I supposed to live with no heart?

 

Thats how I feel now, sitting here, all my work gone to peices

 

I didnt lie when I said cynism isnt my thing

 

I just forgot to mention the idea is now my king

 

How can I miss you with no heart?

 

Thats what I run from doing, every day you've been gone

 

I did lie when I told them I was over you

 

Because its the easiest way to get through

 

I will find someone new with no heart

 

Even if every relationship is sour

 

I didnt lie when I said I knew I would find someone else

 

I just know they cant possibly be like you

 

Perhaps thats a good thing, perhaps life goes on

 

But you tore my heart apart, and while I mould it back together like a soldier with a broken leg

 

I need a different boy with a different name, a different face and a different way of living

 

Just to help me over you

[Astrid Hamilton]

Well, this poem to me evokes the fear behind the eyes that may have teared when penned;
felt from every part within, this seems to be a poem (you) still hold back true feelings on.
People evolve, if given such a gift; it is a shame that you have hidden your true feelings from the one you love most to sacrifice yourself, your heart, your life,
just because of what others think,
when the others have lives of their own that surely they will go on living,
while you are left behind,
perhaps alone.

(Not you, the narrator.)

Great job!
