No, I’m not heart broken
There was not a day that went by that I didn’t look forward to coming home to you.
There was not a day that went by that the sparkles in my eyes didn’t shine brighter when I was with you.
There was not a day that went by that I didn’t want you to be the first person I saw when I open my eyes and the last person I saw before I closed my eyes.
Days are going by now.
No, I'm not heart broken.
I did picture my life with you.
Growing old with you.
Raising our children together.
Coming home to you.
Living with and for you.
Knowing someone needs me like I need them.
No, I'm not heart broken.
You were the perfect man.
The kindest man.
You were my man.
The best man.
You were my man.
The sex man.
No, I'm not heart broken.
Now I do not have you here by my side.
Now you are not here to greet me when I get home.
Now you are not here to eat dinner with me.
Now you are not here to kiss me before I go to sleep.
Now you are gone.
Now I'm growing on my own.
No, I'm not heart broken.
I wake up alone.
I drive alone.
I shop alone.
I eat alone.
I bath alone.
I sleep alone.
No, I'm not heart broken.
I wish I was nicer to you.
I wish I was skinner for you.
I wish I wasn't so jealous of your time away from me.
I wish I liked more of the things you liked.
I wish I was at a different point in my life.
I wish I did not want kids.
I wish I can settle for what you can give me.
Because if all these wishes came true, maybe I'd still be with you.
But if they were true, I wouldn't be true to myself.
No, I'm not heart broken.
I look forward for someone to love me for me.
I look forward for someone to accept 100% of the love I give them.
I look forward for someone to return the love I give them back to me at 110%.
I look forward to having children with my future husband.
I look forward to being in a relationship were my partner and I fall in love with each other again and again every day.
Call me a hopeless romantic. I do not care.
Because that is who I am.
This is who I want to be.
One day he's going to find me
No, I'm not heart broken.

- Comment from author about the poem: I recently got out of a serious 3 year relationship with who I thought was the love of my life. I share my true raw feelings in this poem. I hope it will help others who just got out of a relationship.

WELCOME BLEE ~ Thanks for your first poem ~ this is an empathetic site and it is an experience we can empathise witn. An elegantly written poem with a poignant message ~ but with a positive resolve expressed in the Title and The First Line ~ NO I'M NOT HEARTBROKEN ! Three Years is a long time for a Serious Relationship ! But i like your resolve and faith that "A New Man ~ Worthy of you Love ~ will come into your life" I'm a Man and my philosophy is "Better to have Loved & Lost ~ than never to have Loved at all" In my experience that mantra is easier for Men than Ladies for lots of reasons. This is why I found your poem so refreshing ! You have been Knocked Down ~ but not Knocked Out ~ Heart Wounded but not Heart Broken ~ AMEN. Thinking of You ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
Welcome to MPS! Excellent write! What a brave and positive one at that! I think this poem will help those overcoming breakups like yours. Your outlook is so fantastic, it's inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
