A gentle heart, battered and beaten,
a naive nature cruelly abused,
a kind soul, spoiled and eaten,
a cringing mind left cold and confused
my heart painfully mourning
for the loss slaughtered sanity
the realization slowly dawning
of the ignorance taken gladly
no more light to find
now watch as the tears repeat
how was I so blind?
now for life, my heart desperately beats.
Author notes
Prompt: Don't lead me on and leave me confused. Any girl would rather be left alone than have her heart abused.
A bit dark for me and I don't usually do love writes but oh well!

Awesome
I really can identify with this poem. It is the one line " now for life, my heart desperately beats" has more meaning than just the physical and mental aspects. This poem speaks to me...... -
"now for life, my heart desperately beats."
That line alone would be enough to make me love this poem. However, the other lines also contributed beautifully and made this poem a lovely piece. Great work and best of luck in the contest!
God bless,
~Praise~ -

This poem is full of raw emotions and amazing poetic techniques. I love what you managed to come up with without the poem being personal to you. I think many people can relate to the loss of a love, not only a person in their life, but the love of a car, love of sight, etc. You have a wonderful talent for your age and I look forward to seeing you post more here on AllPoetry!

Yes I think we all would like to not have our hearts broken, but without taking a chance on love we may never find true happiness! Wonderful take on the prompt, you are so very talented. Theresa
