love isn't supposed to be like this

 

Beautiful heartbeat,
you were "letting go" material,
or so it seemed to me.
Breathing without the lungs you supplied
will never be easy, no it won't be the same.

If I reach out my hand,
will it be filled with yours?
Or will it come back just as empty
as I feel right now.

    Interesting take on the opposite side. I liked your metaphors and the placement of specific words. That made this come to life instead of just being something I read in a contest. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.

    this was so sad, but beautiful at the same time. the last stanza was very powerful, especially the last line.
    i like the second line of the poem a lot. it really hit me hard.

    thanks for entering and goodluck

    After reading this, I had to take a deep breath to make sure I actually still had lungs. (:
    This write is beautiful.
    Written with such depth and loss.

    Well i was a little distracted at first by the title. It's really simple, yet says so much in comparision.

    The first two lines really captured the whole mood of the poem.

    Great take on a great song.

    Woow, nice little poem. But it really touches heart. like it says,
    " or so it seemed to me"
    seemed to me this is realistic. i always feel that some i feel not others.
    Thanks for sharing this poet.
    Be Happy
