chapters in my broken heart

 

You loved me and I couldn't be more excited.

Days went by when sleep became unnecessary

because I lived off of thoughts of you and me,

like your love was my protein.

I could feel my body growing weak,

but I ignored it's futile attempts to get me

to surrender to its demands.

You were worth breaking the rules for.

 

My fragility is being tested as my gaze

saw your hand in hers.

I need no explanation. I have no desire to hear you speak.

Your mistake was uncalled for.

Am I just your Tuesday whore?

Just another take-my-body, lie me down,

and move along to the next one, is that what I am?

If it's love that you feel for this old soul,

then show me what it takes to be a real man.

It's either me or her.

 

I'm out of here.

To see your face in such a possessive stare,

it makes me more than regret you.

I feel sorry for you. I feel bad that you think you

are worth the trouble.

You don't deserve my stain or my scars.

My cardiac debris is laying on the floor,

spread there by your swift rush of rage and ego.

See that door? I'm walking out it.

 

Here I am.

Today, I've never felt so alone in such a desolate jungle.

I've heard people call it the city, but I call it abandonment.

Time under depression's blue makes decision's

much harder to become my verdict.

If he comes after me with those Prince Charming eyes,

I don't know what I may do.

 

[but knowing me, I'll fall back into his arms

    and allow myself to be lied to again]

    "Just another take my body, lie me down,"

    I don't think the "another take my body" reads quite well. Perhaps as "Just another take-my-body" or something that could make it more easily read in the vein in which you're writing it.

    I also feel that the first line of the third part is not needed. Other than that, I found it to be quite a good poem.

  • This poem seems to be so true for so many people, it captures everything so wonderfully, just binds it up and shoves it into the heart of your readers. This is very well done. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.

  • This is very powerful & you def hit it home in the last stanza. (:
    Good luck in the contest!

  • Great job this was a poem filled with contradicting feelings. I am sorry he can't make up his mind sounds like you need to move on. You can do so much better I am sure. I hate guys like that.

    My favorite part was:

    Here I am.

    Today, I've never felt so alone in such a desolate jungle.

    I've heard people call it the city, but I call it abandonment.

    Time under depression's blue makes decision's

    much harder to become my verdict.

    If he comes after me with those Prince Charming eyes,

    I don't know what I may do.




  • this is really a heartfelt poem,
    this reminds me of my personal experience, I went back to him 6 times during our 2 year relationship..

    But now it's completly over, no feelings at all, he drained it out of me, and took some of my heartandSoul with him..

    I really loved reading this,

    Thanks for entering LoveNeverDies,

    Goodluck

    (:

  • EMOTIONS!

  • beautifully done, i love the positive message behind the whole thing about how the guy wasn't worth it. i know a lot of women who experience relationships like this, but they always get angry at the other woman and not the guy. you did an amazing job with this poem, good luck in all of your contests!

  • like your love was my protein.
    I could feel my body growing weak,

    those lines describe how at times we just need our lover with us. beautiful job. this really is impressive

  • Wow! I like this! Nice job!

  • My cardiac debris is laying on the floor

    that is a fantastic line. i wish you well in this contest that you have entered and am looking forward to reading more from you in the near future. viyanna rosemarie

    I like it, because at first you can feel your emotion, how you love him. Then, after you see him with her, the poem holds an emptiness, a feeling that you've lost everything.
    Its so well written.

    Holly.
