Love, for me, was just a word,
And experiencing it would be absurd.
Seeing love caused those heartbreaks around
Shows that it’ll only make you frown.
I guess I never really knew,
What love could ever make you do.
Until that time that love decides
That in my heart it will reside.
It all had started when we met;
It seems like destiny has had it set.
For you my heart did ever fall.
Was my heart by you enthralled?
When you smiled, you made my day.
Your face shines brighter than the sun’s rays;
And every word that you had said
Just kept dancing in my head.
I soon had known that this was love
That dreaded emotion, away I shove;
But it seems no matter what I try,
I know that this truth I can’t deny.
I’m trap by love’s unbreakable chain,
And it was your love that I want to gain.
You were always on my mind
That your love I’ll try to find.
Now, comes the time I had to tell
All those feelings that within me dwell.
I need to tell you how I feel
That my love for you was real.
You then told me that this can’t be,
For you love another, and not me.
Into pieces my heart breaks,
And these feelings I can’t take.
Now, I’ve felt what heartbreaks are;
I know that this will leave a scar.
But I don’t regret what love has done,
For I know someday I’ll find the one.

This is very nice. And a great depiction of heartbreak and what it feels like to have loved and lost. Very nice write. Though, in my own opinion, I think the rhyming seemed a little forced in some places but I really enjoyed the flow of the poem. Its very nicely written. Great Job! Keep writing!
