To the boy who broke my heart

Not Entirely here

I don't know where to start,

for the first time I'm unable to turn my pain into words.

For the first time writing can't calm me-

My poems aren't my escape anymore because somehow they remind me of you.

You broke a heart that loved you,

and now you can seal up my book because I will not write anymore.

I've been walking that lonesome valley,

and you found me.

Made me believe I was worth loving,

But I guess you were only just passing through-

So allow me to fade away,

let me find some peace in a random alley

or just cry for a while.

I'm going to try to get to heaven before they close the door,

and tell the angels about the pain you've caused me because I am unable to hate you.

As much as it hurts, you were my once in a lifetime person.

    For someone who isn't writing poems anymore you've done a really good job with this piece. Although you don't feel it right now. There is ALWAYS someone better to love you and be loved. Stay strong

      well expressed, good utilisation
      of poetry's capacity
      to air out, our entangled thoughts..
      thanks for sharing

      I'm so sorry dear poet for your heartache. Love is truly a delicate thing, and it's not a game, however for some it can seem that way. To see it's even caused you writer's block is also saddening, I hope you'll overcome it and know that there's always people who'll be ready to love you more than that person could.

        Thank you, it actually happened last year I just hadn't mastered the courage to write about it. Had to wait until I was completely over it in order to put it into writing. I am ready to let love find me again. Thank you once again 🙂

        You found love and with it you found the feelings of really being alive. It was as if suddenly everything was turned on so you could really see and feel them. Never forget that feeling. It is still out there and will come to you again. Never ever feel that it wont or that you are unworthy of it.
        Begin to love yourself more. Know and respect yourself. Know that you are really worthwhile and worthy of good love coming to you.
        You are a part of life on planet earth with as much right to be here as the trees and the stars above.
        You are a poet, a gift to treasure.

          Thank you so much, it was through the heartbreak that I learned to love myself even more. It made me realise if I don't love myself enough I will always need someone to come love me and that is not what life should be about. I really appreciate your comment 🙂

            That's really good to read. It's some journey isn't it. Well done gal.
