The Truth Hurts

Left so completely hollow, I ask you to fill me
With the yet unbroken promise, I sustain myself
Knowing, believing, that you, will fill me
On the brink of shattering
I sustain myself
Because
I believe in you
I know that you, not anyone else, but you
Will not let me break
And yet when I wake.
Alone
And broken

This cant be right?
You were suppose to fill me
I'm a mountain when I am full
Nothing can crack me
Impregnable, Solid, Firm
Nothing can break me!
Yet here I am
Shattered
And alone

What happened to her
She must be hurt
Even in this state all I think of
Is her
She would never let me fall?
She promised

And as I am swept up
And placed into the trash
I still think
I hope she is alright?

    Promises don't mean anything they are just truths that become lies. Ask me I found out the hard way. You did a good job on this piece thank you for entering and thank you for sharing

  • Aw, this is just so sad I can relate to the feelings in this and you explained them so well with a lot of emotion

  • This is a wonderful poem, I really do terribly on love and broken heart poems, I never seem to be able to get the depth of my emotion across. You did it beautifully.

    How beautiful. Deeply sad. As the person before said...touching and mournful. It has a gentle repetition about it that accents the content and the form.

    Well done, I encountered one minor spelling error where you left the 'd' off of 'sustained'. Something anyone could accidentally do.

    I loved it...
