How Many Times

How many times
Does my heart
Have to break
Before you see
Before you care

And how many times
Do I have to pick
Up the pieces
Before you realise
Before you’re there

But I keep on smiling
Even though it hurts

And I keep on supporting you
Though it’s hard not to cry

Because you’re loving her
She’s loving him
And I’m loving you

Though you don’t see it
And I’m left to wonder why

How many times
Do I have to place
The pieces back together
Before you see
Before you’re there

And how many times
Does my heart
Have to break
Before I realise
You don’t care

    Wow, there's a real sense of loss here, and an inner struggle, wondering what to do now. I like the way the persona slowly realises the truth: "You don't care", put so succintly in the final line. This poem builds up a scenario effectively. I think it's very good. I agree with pen-inhand that this piece is really poignant. Well-written and affects the reader too. Keep up the great writing.

    A sad poignant poem, never a guarentee with love. Hard to except when its not you the love is directed at. You've written this piece very well. Your pain is evident. Love will find you, hang in there! Hugs, Kelly

    My advice Nell is leave them down
    Your love is given to a clown
    Be aware it is time for yous
    To put on your feet traveling shoes!
    In Aussieville know you can find
    A person who is much refined.

    Why is love and pain so synonymous? Unfortunately (or fortunately) we don't often really choose who we fall in love with, it just sort of happens. But then, what would life be without its measure of romance?
