I was young and naive
Dreaming of what our future holds
Thinking what we had would last forever
Having 5 children together
And 10 grandchildren, if we’re lucky
Then storms happened
Tide gets high and the wind blows hard
I’m leaving you, he said
We were never right for each other, he said
I’m the source of your pain, he said
Then, he kissed me goodbye
Ever so lightly, ever so shortly
And right then and there
My heart was ripped out of my rib cage
Leaving me bleeding to death
It’s like every love songs have lost their meanings,
All the butterflies have died inside,
And it’s like I’ve lost all senses,
That with him gone,
So was I

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem when the one man I loved at the time, tore my heart into two. I had no one else to talk to and I desperately needed an escape. So, I took out my notebook and started writing down what I felt. All the brokenness, the sorrow, the pain, and the tears just flew with the words. This hits hard to me and I hope it will successfully delivers the emotions behind the words.

They say in time all wounds will heal .I believe everyone in the world has had a broken heart . Lost loves thaat they thought were true loves. Do not rush into another relationship. The right person will come along and bring back those butterfly's . Thank you for sharing .
i am now a firm believer that to be able to love is to heal oneself first. whoever comes but then goes, is never meant for us in the first place, and it's okay to be sad because it's a reminder that our heart still beats. thank you for taking the time to read š
I'm fairly new here. So I'm checking out several poems a day. Once again Thank you for sharing.
I can only vote as ep above: The pain will fade, heal, get better.

as one would say, time heals all wounds. though we'll remember that forever, but we will learn how to love better. thank you for the warm welcome and taking the time to read š
'Iām the source of your pain, he said
Then, he kissed me goodbye
Ever so lightly, ever so shortly
And right then and there
My heart was ripped out of my rib cage'..
what's really most impressive
is how succinctly you worded
such distinctly raw feelings
to a traumatic experience
that so many of us can relate with
and yet, we find it hard to express
our own experiences, with such clarity..
(a really well executed write
hope you find someone
worthy of you, eventually
thanks for sharing)
i have a hard time expressing myself in real life and i have turned to poetry since i was in my early teenage years. my poems have represented me far better than my own self. i believe love will come to those who has a pure heart, patience is the essence in finding the love that is destined for us. thank you for taking the time to read š
