I'm Finally Beginning to Grow


I can't open up my life to you,
because of the way you broke my heart.
I can't allow myself to hold out for you,
I have to give myself a chance to start.

The way that I felt for you before,
is something that I could never contain.
But, deep inside this heart of mine,
I can't allow those feelings to remain.

It tears me apart just to think about you,
and the way we were before.
I thought that I meant the world to you,
my heart was an open door.

I trusted you with my heart and soul,
hoping you would never be.
The cruel and evil person,
that you suddenly turned out to be.

I loved you more than words could ever say,
and I thought that you felt the same way about me too.
Unfortunately your heart was somewhere else,
and now those days of love are through.

I'll never be able to love again,
the way that I loved you.
I'll never be able to trust again
and it's all because of you.

I always thought that we would be together,
and that nothing would ever keep us apart.
I never thought that I would have to say good-bye,
without you I don't know where to start.

As I pick up the pieces to my heart,
that you shattered and left here on the floor.
I know deep inside that I will make it,
and I'll never have to think about you anymore.

It's going to take some time,
before I will be able to let you go.
I'll cry a million more tears,
but  in time I will be whole.

Getting over you is a major challenge,
that my heart is going through.
Until I do I want you to know,
that I will never be able to forgive you.

For all of the pain and trauma,
that you have caused in my life.
Every moment that we were together,
cut me like a knife.

Now that we're far apart,
I just want you to know.
That I am doing fine without you,
and I am finally beginning to grow.

    The last 5 verses just seem to be repetitious of themselves, and each one seems like an ending. I feel that you could cut them down some, perhaps use some, and not others to cut the repetition, and not make it seem there's more than just the one ending.

    Other than that: a nice poem that you have written here.

    Well done and imaginately written.

    A very comprehensive tale of the trauma caused by the the vagaries of the opposite partner after a breakup. The positive determination and refusal toi give in says volumes for the writer's character.
