Broken In Pieces

Another one inspired by a heart break

Cut out my heart

Leave it to rust

Break it to pieces 

Scatter the dust

Cut the drama and just be real

Show me how you actually feel

Once bitten twice shy

Yet again, I still had to try

I have given you all I am

Yet it is still not enough

So casually you say:

"would you be mad if I left again"

On the beat my heart stops with a loud "ba boom"

I have given you all I can

As the dagger of your words cut through me

I have given you my life

You walked away, I was filled with strife 

Am I a fool

For believing in storybook endings

With a couple who would do anything for each other?

I give you my soul

I ask for little in return

Only your love…

But from you, that's still pending

Within this poem, my heart I am sending

It was twice broken, just as it healed

The stitches were fresh

But your manicured hands they did peel

Am I a fool for believing in love

Or that someone watched us up above

All I thought I knew is gone

I am a shell, my existence a living hell

I give up on this life

So this is my final test

So for you I will bear my chest

Cut out my heart

Leave it to rust

Break it to pieces 

Scatter my dust

A powerful poem. I like the flow of thoughts. The desire and description led the reader on a emotional journey. To give everything can leave you in a bad position. I like the strong ending to the outstanding poem.

Thanks, I wrote this during a tough time in my life. A lot of my poems are like my versions of letter written to people who have affected me, one way or another. Writing about issues is the best way for me to vent them. I'm glad you enjoyed my poetry and I hope you enjoy more of mine in the future
