* Broken Heart *

                   the pain from a broken

                    heart can last for

                   several long years all

                   of those lies you told

                   me that is what hurt me

                   the most, if you really

                   didnt love me the truth

                   would have been so much

                   better on me from the start.

                   before our relationship got

                   so serious to that point but

                   now it is too late i feel like

                   i want to die i no longer have

                   the heart to love anymore. my body

                   and soul has became cold and empty

                   i thought i would never get to this

                   part but i was so very wroung to

                   believe that. but i will get over

                   it someday in the future without you

Gail,
Your poem shows alot of emotion and expresses how many of us have felt about a love that went sour. Don't waist your life pining away over someone who obviously is not worthy of your time. Good poem.

Its very hard to heal a heart once its broken, we've all been there.
You have put it into words brillantly.

Well done and keep up the good work.

Ladessa Sullivan's picture

I like this poem. I really like the way the poem is structured. I like the way it goes to next line in mid-sentence. The structure really helped convey the sadness of your words.

love this. you are a nice and lovely person as could be seen from your little poem. keep your good work up!

Danielle Lyons's picture

Now this one is something I can relate to. I love the way in which there is hardly any punctuation, makes it seem like a rush, gabbling as quickly as possible to make the feelings heard, sort of fits with the subject :)

Gil Gregorio Sr's picture

This is a sad note of life...love expressions of feeling. I was touched.

this poem explains exactly how i feel on the inside. you took all my emoitions and explained them in a perfect way. great job!

April Spinks's picture

i really like this one...you're really a passionate writer and you can feel the emotion in what you write. i appreciate what you write and appreciate the fact that you put it out there for everyone to read so that they can relate to what you've felt. it's amazing to me that hearts can be so strong in love and yet break so easily when the love is destroyed. i can relate in many ways to many of the poems you've written and that's also what i try to bring through in my poems for people. you're truly a great writer and i hope you keep up the great work. keep writing and i'll keep reading.

Very interesting poem - you wrote about your emotions very deep and very open.
First impression was that we have here amateur poetry. But in last few years many great poet-modern poets wrote in this "maneer" (that is not maneer in classic style, because we talk here about honest emotions).
Thank you for sharing with us your tallent.

With deepest respect,
Nikola

Hey! This poem reminds me of how someone treated me in a meaningful relationship. Thanks for putting it into words, cause I don't think I could have done as good of job as you did. Great Work! ---Blondie8903

" You said something about my poems so I figured I would return the favor at the least I can do."

Your porm was really good i can see the pain and the way you handle things in your relationship as you know i went through something most likely like you did where the one you love turns on you and says that they were never really in love with you. This poem is by far very good in my eyes i can see and feel the emotion you must have put into it. Best of wishes for you to get over the pian and sarrow and you must always know theres all she/he wasn't the right one so don't lose hope. Have a good Day.

As I always say " Life is but a dream waiting for the dreamer to awaken."

Sincerly
Kevin, Linn

marilyn sturner's picture

this is poignant and so sad well written and i feel the pain i am the expert at having broken hearts love like you never will lose the person is my motto still despite my past

Katie's picture

Sometimes i think that maybe the person that you see yourself falling in love with, is totally oblivious to what is going on around them. It may not seem like a very serious relationship to them, but your life will never be the same again.

James Powell's picture

This poem described my ex (jessica) alot. She left me because she thought I was too serious I suppose, I haven't gotten a real explanation but anyways lol.
This poem puts words to how it feels, and its cool because this poem clearly examplifies the emotions that people grow through. Good work ;)

gentle's picture

The context is real. Anyone who has been through this knows exactly how this scenerio plays out.

Your style has a very nice flow which makes it comfortable to read.

Well done.

I'm sorry for not replying to your comment sooner, but my computer has crashed, and it's taken me some time to make it to the library. Anyway, I think this is a good poem. It has many good ideas, perhaps I'm just partial to suffering. I think the poem could use a change of format, though. The way you have the lines set up makes it sort of choppy. Here's an example of a way you could change it

the pain from a broken heart
Lasts for many long years
all of those lies you told me,
those, those are what hurt me the most
If you didn't really love me,
The truth would have been easier

I would comment more, but I have just got done writing a paper, and I'm a bit pressed for time, I will critique more of your work when I can. Keep writing!
~Bryant

Heather Dowley's picture

my first bf and my first love dumped me almost 4 long months ago and I'm still not over it. my heart still aches and I still cry myself to sleep. I love this poem because it captures the strong feeling and emotion of the broken hearted. great job
