A Heartfelt Plea

You’ve been screwed
Chopped-up and used.
I see your heart on your sleeve-
It’s been blackened and bruised.
You once stood so tall,
But then you suffered your share-
You claim there’s no love,
None to genuinely care.
You say you’re not ready
To put your heart on the line.
You were beat down before,
So now you think that’s a sign...

I would like you to know
This is a heartfelt plea-
Without you in my life
There’s no future I can see.
I look into your eyes,
And I sympathize with your pain,
But can you see mine?
Life’s a standstill; where’s our gain?
Darling just let me
Help you to help yourself.
Give me a glimpse of what’s real,
And take your life off its shelf.
I won’t mess with your mind
Or even play with your heart-
I’ve always been true,
And I finish what I start.
Just place your hand within mine,
Share my thoughts and understand
That a life with your love
Correlates my promise land!

Author notes

This piece symbolizes that place in a relationship where one party may feel as though the thought of a separation would tear them to pieces, that they would simply be lost without their other half, whereas the other half is not so willing to commit/move on to the next step... It's a horrible place to be, that is, between the infamous 'rock and a hard place', and I share my sympathies for anybody who has found themself to be trapped in this time, or lost in this moment. You are not alone.
*love is truly beautiful when you find it. I want the best love poems you can come up with...lost love, true love, sad love, whatever love you truly have or believe in.*

    that's exactly how I felt/feel, I mean.. my ex and I were at different points in our lives and he ended it and I was really miserable and it did tear me up. this has happened more than once with the same person... I've dated him three times and I think we really are over for good.. this poem does a great job of showing that, and also respect/care for how the other person feels.. my ex and I have that as well.. thank you for entering the contest.
