Paper Heart-Part III

I am afraid to love again because of her. It's better this way so I wouldn't be hurt again.

Time stood still

You took my heart

From my paralyzed soul

As I stood unconscious

 

My eyes were open

I saw you rip my heart

My paper heart

The core that holds my life

 

I felt every tear

I felt every blow

I felt the pain

It was horrible

 

You opened my soul

And offered a broken heart

Time began to move

Tears fell from my eyes

 

I fell to my knees

I was still alive

I was still breathing

But my soul was dead

 

From that moment on

I lived with a dead soul

A broken heart

Like an empty shell

A sad and powerful poem. A heart brake leave us disappointed and afraid. Best to learn and move on to another part of living. Description and story was very good. Thank you.

Bj...i agree falling in love would lessen the hurt...thiswas sheer agony...your thoughts are very sensitive for your age..a very delicate heart..paper one...

again, wonderful imagery used. I think I preferred number two, but that's simply down to my personal opinion not to anything you've written. But you ended the three poems well in this one.
