Sealed With a Bow

You entrusted your heart 
Given to me in a box
Sealed with a kiss
And look what it’s done

The pain you caused
by sending that gift
I can not accept,
You must place it back 
Rendering it where it belongs

But the time when on
Something inside me grieved
I pursued happiness with you
Wanting what you first offered
Making me love you

Betraying my trust
You broke my heart
I wrapped it back up
Sealed with a bow
Leaving part of me on your steps

I forever will hold your gift in my hands
As if it were a broken bird
Collecting my tears as they bleed
Wishing I could drown you with them in the end

    That's always the bad thing about entrusting your heart with someone... there's always a chance that it could be broken.

    thanks for your entry

    I like this,, I can relate because a guy has recently entrusted me with his heart and I was afraid of breaking it. But at the end of the day, I want to make him happy too. He used the phrase 'I'm giving you my heart please don't break it' and I said, 'I'll hold it close to my heart forever so they can look after eachother'. Sweetly written.

    Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Such sadness and heartbreat filled with beautiful words and methaphors... I can't help but love poems like this. I especially love and adore the last two stanzas of this piece that were filled with such amazing imagery and metaphor that it took my breath away (and that honestly doesn't happen too often). You have a talent and I wish you all the best with your poetry!

    Thank you for taking part of this contest; you did a beautiful job with the picture!

    I love this poem. I found it to be full of sadness and heart ache. I like the last two stanzas a lot. I felt deep sadness and heart ache when I read this. I felt this way towards someone in Nov of last year. after I read this, then I clicked on the link, you did a great job with this picture prompt.

    good luck in the contest.
