Worthless, that's what you are to me
You're just an empty memory
Just as useless as every hollow dream
Like this was all a part of your little scheme
The memories we made
Would've been so much better had you stayed
My mind should be void of everything we were
Seems so long ago; everything's just a blur
All your actions that proved your love to me
Look at how pointless those turned out to be
It was all just a lie to get what you wanted
Our love you pushed away - now I'm haunted
Those meaningless kisses we so often shared
The countless times you seemed like you cared
Are all worthless now after what you've done
The promises you broke and the lies you've spun
These lost years I wasted on you
My dreams and promises were all misconstrued
You're worthless now in my thoughts and my dreams
Leaving you behind is so much harder than it seems
My soul still aches while we are apart
You're worthless in my head but not in my heart

This poem is so real and expresses my thoughts and feelings to a T after my heart was broken by someone I loved. You have truly captured the pain, hurt, and feelings of a heart that has been painfully hurt.
This is a classic line:
My soul still aches while we are apart
You're worthless in my head but not in my heart
Excellent write.

A most sad, but highly lyrical lover's lament of a love gone south, very finely and so niftily done here!!
-
Well composed, but more than that
this piece speaks to my own dissatisfied heart. In the flavor of it I get a taste of my own thoughts and feelings.
"Memories we made" - been there. "Haunted" - done that. "These lost years" - I know only too well.
Excellent write.

"My soul still aches while we are apart
You're worthless in my head but not in my heart"
What a way to end a beautiful poem.

So touching, strong and heartfelt here, how love is still there, after all...
I hope you feel better soon...

just another thought-- i also like how this poem, seems so definite and certain; like, you know just how you're feeling, and you've made up your mind. but at the end, it twists a bit, and you realize that although, yes, everything does seem worthless; there's something you're reaching at and grasping for, unable to let go.
