I lost my love

I placed my heart in a steele box beside my bed,

Never to interfere with the thoughts of suicide in my head.

And there it rested, safe, until this year,

With my thoughts and secrets for no one to hear.

But you opened the box and stole everything inside,

Everything I ever tried to hide.

You forced me to open myself and let it all go,

Promising I would never again reach my low.

But it all back-fired on me,

Closing my eyes to the world I see.

Never again will I feel the same,

Living my life feeling this shame.

All I see, hear and feel is you,

How will I make it through.

I wish you were here, holding me tight,

Whispering in my ear "everything will be alright".

I'm here, alone waiting,

But through this distance I feel you fading.

I wake up in the middle of the night wanting to hear your voice,

And I realize you're not there and it's not my choice.

I want you still,

I want to know how you feel.

But you closed your heart to me,

And it makes me feel like I cannot breathe.

And through all of this you kept my heart,

But I don't want it back and I know that isn't smart.

I feel you squeezing my heart tight,

Ready to let go but this feeling you fight.

It makes me feel close when you keep my love,

But if you ever let go my spirit will fade below or above.

Yes, my heart is aching,

But no I don't think there is beauty in this breaking.

I want to spend every day of my life,

With you by my side, but would I make a good wife.

I can tell that this piece came from the heart and your experiencing a lot of pain and confusion. It sounds like you're doubting yourself and that's something you should avoid. You can only be you and no one else. So, just be you, people who don't like you for you aren't worth bothering with. Just don't be rude about you being yourself and poeple won't have a problem.

Very EMO. A emotional poem. I felt your pain, dear and that is what all writers aspire to do.

Good Write.

This was such a heart felt work of wonder. So true is the heart break and the feeling of being alone. I truly hope that one can find a light through such roads of pain. Great work here. Keep the faith that good things will come. :)

Very beautifully written. I lost my breath with these words....

I want to know how you feel.

But you closed your heart to me,

And it makes me feel like I cannot breathe.

Great job, keep writing.
