The Broken Heart - Where Do I Start?

AddieThomas100

Kerplunk!  

The ship has sunk. 

I am drowning in pain, 

I’m going insane. 

 

Thoughts become the ache, 

That I feel as I wake. 

The loss is like paralyses, 

An ocean of analysis. 

 

Move damn limb! 

A message, it's not him.  

The void is crushing, 

My wound is gushing.  

 

Our favourite song, 

But I can’t sing along, 

What is to become, 

Of a life so numb? 

 

The sun shines, 

I close the blinds. 

The darkness raids, 

The soul’s everglades.  

 

I allow the darkness to be, 

It is my liberty. 

And then from within, 

A light so thin. 

 

I sidle nearer, 

To the light bearer. 

And as I breach the space, 

I find a wonderful place. 

 

The warm glow, 

A feeling I know, 

Home to the heart, 

That is broken in part. 

 

How can light exist? 

When he is painfully missed? 

For this loss was meant, 

To see me utterly spent. 

 

But I am in fact, 

Incredibly intact. 

With a new zest for life, 

And no one’s wife. 

 

Are you suggesting? 

That I wasted years detesting? 

Lessons of the heart? 

Which created a kickstart? 

 

To all that I can be, 

When I invest in the love that is me, 

And realise my power, 

Amidst the deepest, darkest hour. 

 

I stand alone, 

But I have grown,

Impermanence anew,

Life is more than You.

  • Comment from author about the poem: In trying to figure out why people hurt us, why we hurt people.....I have come to realise that the biggest mistake we make in love is expecting love from the other person. We expect them to be a certain way, we expect them to know better...... As I listen to other people's stories, I am reminded......until we FULLY understand unconditional love and BE it....we will continue to unravel when humans do not live up to our expectations.
