Nothing has never hurt as deeply
Than every time I've ever had to say goodbye
To yet another friendship gone array
There have been nights
Where I sobbed myself to sleep
Days that went by
Where I didn't feel like moving on
Hours when I wondered
What exactly I did wrong
Too much time spent
Trying to wash away the pain
And every moment
That I didn't want to try
Another year spent
Trying to pick myself up
From the wreckage I created
The burning of the fire
And the pieces of what was broken
As I made my great escape
From the terrifying reality
Of my own destruction
I've never let a soul
Look at me that way again
I am a product
Of every time someone broke my heart
Smashed it against the wall
Let the pieces fall
And expected me to pick them up
Then smile on que
Like an actor on stage
Who can't remember their lines
Smile instead of showing the pain
That you're not the person
I once thought you to be
Can you relate?

Beautifully written, I think everyone can relate to this. Broken friendships, hearts, and lost pieces of ourselves. Hiding what it is we feel inside is a shame, we should be able to count on someone. I am sorry you have had to experience these things in life. I guess without the pain, we may not understand or appreciate the good things we are allowed. Awesome write!

Thank you :-) I feel the same way. Without the pain that life sometimes hands us we would never get the chance to grow and learn from our experiences and mistakes. I'm glad you liked this, and thank you for the applause.

I won't lie, I'm way to out of it to think of something creative to say, but this poem is absolutely awesome. You made me believe you.

My favourite lines:
"I am a product
Of every time someone broke my heart
Smashed it against the wall
Let the pieces fall"
It was a good poem, radiated imagery. I don't think I can relate though, but perhaps that's why I cannot relate; I think too much so everything that used to be a memory becomes a dream.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyways.....
lol, there's my thoughts for the day.
Nice Poem!
