My selfish act

He said he loved me and gave me his heart.
This selfishness of mine simple tore it apart.
He broke down in tears, wept, asking "why"?
Teardrops like rain, poured from his sky.

His soul was shattered, his dreams were lost.
His heartbreak was what my wilfulness caused.
He wanted to stop thinking of me,
but his broken heart said to let it be.

He turned to smoking, to get rid of his thoughts,
no matter how i pleaded, he just wouldn't stop.
He said it helped him, i said no way,
he was addicted, much to my dismay.

How can i help him? How will it end?
Even though i don't love him, he's still my friend.
Would another girl suffice to heal his pain?
I wonder if he'll still love me the same.

Author notes

Eternal Pain

Option 5) A gone wrong love; were things "perfect" and then things changed? They either stopped loving you or you stopped loving them?

Option 2) Bad love

    It's perfect. I love every line. What I really like about this poem is that is caught my attention. I read it to see what would happen next. I would if this is fiction or not, but it is still excellent. Brilliant and write more.

    Aw, I like this so much. Such a sad story that happens so often. I like that this poem is simple--says only what needs to be said... excellent work, and the rhyme didn't seem forced. Great work and good luck in the contest! --Shannon

    Great poem
    I really like the real life scenario you brought "to the table"
    It's sad to see that when you're trying to help someone and they don't let you help them

    Really really emotional. xO

    "Even though I don't love him, he's still my friend."
    I love that line. Even if you break up with someone, you shouldn't just drop him/her out of your life since the person had came into your heart and touched it. x]

    Hmm this is interesting.....it's the opposite of what most girls/women would do, it's usually the girl with the broken heart.


    I love the line:
    "Teardrops like rain, poured from his sky."

    Thanks for entering, good luck and well done on such a good write.

    At times

    At times as I read the words of young poets I realize how much the world has changed. The questions you ask yourself are filled with wisdom. But to take on sych stress now is not a very healthy idea. Write on young poet. There is some magic in your pen.

    Hey this was no different… I loved it!… ur very good in telling stories in a rhyme and letting out ur emotions ... I too like to tell stories in rhymes and this poem is a very good poem… the flow was good and so the rhyming and the story… yeah I think another girl can definitely eradicate his pain may be its you too… maybe he’ll still love you the same…

    Beauty Painted

    You captured his pain and your pain throught this poem.
    There is different types of love: romatic love friendship love,stranger love,famliy love sexual love, lust..

    I understand this poem and relate

    "How can i help him? How will it end?
    Even though i don't love him, he's still my friend.
    Would another girl suffice to heal his pain?
    I wonder if he'll still love me the same. "

    the ending is beautifully scipted...An excellant piece
