Heartbreak

The heart trembles when one falls in-love

It trembles not just because of joy

But because it fears the worst

 

The worst that can come from heartbreak

It’s is a bitter feeling of rejection

It makes one feel like dirt

 

Regret and memories cloud your mind

And even the strongest fret

Oh, what a terrible terrible feeling!

 

My Mama warned me about this…

Even my Dada preached against it

“Falling in-love is dangerous …don’t be a victim!” He warned

 

If only I had listened

If only I had let the north wind blow my feelings away

This would never have happened

 

But now…

I’m left with nothingness and hurt

Hurt so painful that I weep

 

And so far from me is sleep

Oh this I caused myself

And now the price is mine to pay

This poem has a very unique style to it.

"Oh this I caused myself
And now the price is mine to pay"

That is a great way to end the poem.
Thanks for sharing.
