i thought i knew what a broken heart was
i thought i knew how it felt
until i heard those words slide from your lips
and i learned what tears were truly for
i learned what heart break was
and it was more physical than i thought
a pain in my chest as if my heart had actually shattered
sleepless nights, and lonely days
no appetite, nothing but thoughts
and you wonder
what you did wrong
even though you know it wasn't your fault
mind races aimlessly
and nothing makes sense at all
yeah i thought i knew what a broken heart was
but i had no idea how hard you fall

Hurts my heart too
Tyler, you slipped this one in and somehow I missed it, tucked in here between the other two. Poetry often comes from emotion but sometimes the emotion is almost too much to handle, both for the writer and the reader. The words grab your mind but the emotion behind the words tears through you and leaves you (me) kind of limp. I missed this write, but not what's behind it.

Good lord, I could have written this myself a few months ago! It's true though. You think you know how it feels but its different when it actually happens. Sure you hear about it and everything, but it truly is different when you go through it yourself. Everything you said, thats it. I fell for you, I really do. It's the worst thing in the world to get through, if you ever ever need to talk or rant or whatever, I'll listen.

Excellent write
I know heartbreak so very well. And you have put it so very well onto paper.With the ink of your heart!

good
I can feel exactly what you felt physically, and that means you have written a very accurate account of heart break. I am sorry that you are heartbroken though.
