Slow Beating Heart
I did it again
I made a mistake
I thought I could love you
These feelings were fake
All this rejection
Has torn me apart
Just a little protection
For a slow beating heart
I guess I was naive
I knew it would end
But not this soon
Not with a friend
You made me smile
And cleared my mind
I was walking the plank
I was walking blind
You’re not the one for me
I’m not the one for you
You said you cared
Was this even true?
Luckily for me
I’ve gotten stronger
Who am I kidding?
The suffering is longer
Whatever comes next
I wish you well
I’ll try to stand back
And try not to dwell.
This one is lovely.................
I have one suggestion try writing a poem that doesn necesarily so easily rhyme or not rhyme at all but just flows. I think you will amaze yourself when you allow yourself to write poetry that does not necessarily rhyme and it really frees you up to so many more words. Someone had me do this years ago and I fought the idea at first then I tried it and I was amazed. Do try that at least one time. Thanks for sharing, Sincerely , Melissa
Nice. :P I hope writing these beautiful/upsetting poems helped you get out what you were feeling and helped you heal.
