I'll Lock My Heart Away

Alright, I'm trying to be happy since you were all complaining about how sad I was :P It's not as sad as my last few poems, still kind of emotional though. Tell me what you think, if you'd like (:

No more wishes at 11:11,
Laughs and loving kisses before bed,
Never again will I be like that,
'Til I'm sure he means what he's said.

I won't open my heart up,
'Til I'm sure I can actually trust,
I won't get my heart broken again,
True love and smiles are a must.

I'm tired of all the crying,
All of these wasted tears,
Really wish I could stop,
But they just seem to appear.

I guess heartbreak causes tears,
No matter how strong you are,
You can't hold it all in forever,
Like locking emotions in a jar.

But I will lock my heart away,
My true love will have the key,
Then I can finally be happy again,
Once he sets my heart free.

There is such a beauty in the heart of hope, even though it holds such scars of memory's echo. Yes, love involves a depth of trust, and I'm glad you're at a place where you can wait for the one who will adore you above all others. You're worth it, Amandaaa! :)

But I will lock my heart away,
My true love will have the key,
Then I can finally be happy again,
Once he sets my heart free.

That last one stanza's nicely penned indeed... words're powerful. Nice flow of ink here in this write once again. Lovely write, it's again came right from the bottom of your heart. 100/100.

A poem of superb quality.
Very well rhymed and very meaningful.
I will not judge you on the basis of your age.
I must say the poetic talent is your treasure.
Keep it with passion and patience.

[Amandaaa Caroline (:]

Thank you SO much! Your review means a lot to me, and I am so glad that you found it to be good. And yes, I am trying to keep it with passion and patience. It's difficult sometimes though, haha (:

All difficulties will be defeated by your determination to win.
Have a nice time.:)

There are many lines in here I like because I've been there, though my reasons were different from yours. Honey, whatever you do, locking away your heart/emotions is one of the worst things you can ever do. Humans are meant to feel and express, by locking it away you are denying yourself. That and the time will come, when you realize that even YOU don't know how to unlock your heart anymore. No one can save you from yourself, the only one who can....is you. I'm not saying to keep your heart unprotected, just be wary of who you let in. Because it's impossible to shut out only a piece, in the end you will shut out the whole. If you can't be happy without a man, you won't gain what you're looking for if you're with one. You are a very talented young woman with wisdom beyond your years.

Thanks for the advice! I believe that I've begun to learn some of what you just mentioned already. I just am one of those people who tends to curl up and shut out the world if I get hurt majorly. It is a habit that I am trying hard to break though. Thank you so much for this (:

Awful indeed.

A new resolution in poetic fashion,
A heartbreak for a reason
repeats season after season
