Woo hoo Get ready to read some more work ;o
Broken Heart
Breathing slowly
Remembering you
Once again
Keeping in the tears
Expecting completely
Numbness on my
Heart, broken
Expecting to be
Abandoned at any moment
Racking my mind for
Thoughts of happiness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hearts
Even though we're far apart
Even though we rarely talk
You know I love you with all my heart
Even though I get mad
Even though it seems you're the last person I want to talk to
You know I love you with all my heart
Even though I think of you
Even though I try to apologize in my own way for the pain I've caused
I need to know you love me with all your heart too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feelings
Sitting alone
Letting my mind drift
To thoughts of you
As tears stream
Down my cheeks.
All the good and bad
Haunt me once again
As a tide of grief
Racks my body.
The sorrow that I feel
Never burdened you
Always waiting for you
To break my heart
Again...
I'm slipping into the darkness
Once again
Wishing you could save me
But you never cared.
Couple more poems
Why?
Why do you love me
if all I do is break your heart?
Why do you care so much
if all I do is let you down?
Why do you stick around
if all I do disgusts you?
Why do you talk down to me
in the ways you do?
Why do you put me
through all the stuff you do?
Why do you bother
with me at all?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part of My Life
I want to forget the past
Moving on with the present
I realize I can't forget
It's an impossible task
Trapped in sorrow and the strife
Part of my life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Blade
Everything's going wrong
Dreams shatter and
fears come alive.
When things get rough
I itch for the
feel of the blade.
The warmth of the blood
upon my arm gives
me the relief I need.
Even if temporary
it helps me
feel like me again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My heart
My heart has been
shattered and stomped upon.
My heart has been
given over and over again.
My heart has been
trting to mend with no avail.
My heart has been
given to you unknowningly.
You've broken my heart
into pieces that cannot be fixed.
Thanks for reading these and please give me some feedback. :)
