I didn't choose to have a broken heart

you stood there and watch me 

you didn't even flinch at my tears

you just stood there and watched

 

why didn't you do anything?

why didn't you protect me?

why did you hurt me?

 

questions that will never have answars

pain that will never be explained

tears that will never be dried

 

you told me to trust you why did I?

you asked me if I believed you why did I?

you told me nothing would break us why did I believe you?

 

because you hadn't broken my trust once

because you had never lied to me before

because I wanted to believe it.

 

now everything has changed

you have changed

I have changed

 

but what hasn't changed the the bruises I have

the tear stains on my pillow

the memories that haunt me

Strong emotions. I can tell you've been really hurt in this poem. I love the power of your voice in this poem. It is fierce and to the point. You should use this anger to develop more poetry like this. It's freeing to let your anger out and write poetry the screams of your emotions. Turn a negative into a positive!

Powerful! I really see you are hurted in this poem. I really LOVE this poem on your expression on the pain! LOVE this Poem!!!Very sad and hurted poem

[Coyote Poetry]

A very sad poem. Love is the most difficult thing in a life to understand. I could feel the disappointment and sadness in your words. The last lines are fact. Separation is necessary to heal a broken heart. A very good poem.

Very good SW, powerful write on a hard topic.

Been there...I chose the heartbreak over the bruises.

I can also relate to this poem, I like it a lot, very good. The only thing I will recommend is to use more and be careful of the punctuation marks.

[Dark Empress]

Aw, I can relate to this poem. Great write, sweetie.

[Wondering Mind]

When they asked me whether I prefer a heart that breaks, or not, I told them, give me a heart that bleeds when wounded, it's much easier to heal a wounded heart than to mend a broken one.
But I hope your heart mends soon.
