Change of Heart

It was pure and true.

It was once given to you.

At one time it only knew happiness.

But you turned it into agonizing sadness.

Now it's hardened and won't open to anyone.

It was tattered and divided when you were done.

It's probably a waste to tell you this is about my heart.

You took advantage of a once gentle soul from the start.

If you step back from the screan and squint your eyes, it kinda looks like a beehive! And you know that in there is honey. One of the many foods of the Gods! Plus it is sweet! Thus i would have to say that even though you feel as if your heart is empty, I would disagree. I think there is still a great Sweetness about you, I have seen that in your reviews, and The gods must surely value your talent! :)
Great Poem!
Just my weird View huh? he he :)

This poem speaks of true hurt, the kind that rips a heart in two. I like the way the sentences grow longer, as if the pain grow stronger...very nice Jen!!

Yes, it's a waste because if you feel this way, he's beyond caring, but it matters that you release the negative feelings inside you and isn't poetry an excellent avenue for doing that?! I love the form, imagery and tone of this poem. Barbara

I love the way that you write . Maybe because it is so much like how I have felt and sometimes still do . It''s nice to know that I am not such a lonely heart after all. There are people who love deeply as do I . Thank you.

I agree with all the other reviews, so you know I like this. One thing I love about poetry, or any art in fact, is that it can transform pain into something beautiful. NH

i love this. Well done. The structure, and wording... I dont know if I could do this.. my brain is all over the place... lol

How are you? :)

poetry doesn't always have to be about pain - yet it does seem to bring out the poetic nature in our souls. heartbreak is an ultimate part of life - they do have the ability to heal with time - and open up again for the right person. nicely written piece.
