A Heart Buried in War

When you put your heart in a battle for love, and you lose the whole war

I had you, had you in the grip of my hands

Gripping you deeper and deeper into me

Without letting a piece of you free

I stalked you down, watching your every moves

Waiting for your love, your heart to bloom

I gave everything up, not surrendering

But giving in, making you want my heart

Yet, I was clueless, not looking directly in the smoke

While I was waiting for you to be mine,

You already decided our fate

Our fate to not be in the same world

How could I be so stupid?

I gave you my heart, and everything else

And the only thing you did was stomp on it

Friendship is better you say, but we aren't friends

We were friends in the whole war, but

You betrayed me and became my enemy

You destroyed my every moves and killed me

Not in reality, but in my fantasy and my dreams

So while I cry tears of sorrow, your love is still alive

And mine's killed in action, lying on the cold ground

Buried with the other of the restless souls

While you think of us as friends,

I think of you as an uncompleted body

Who's heart was burned in the living hell

And ashes folded inside of you

For you won't let love settle inside of you

And let me die alone without a breath of love

(hugs) This poem speaks to my battered heart, dear. Absolutely beautiful and painful. :)

Thank you so much. This poem has always been my favorite, and I wrote it when I was heartbroken.

It seems the best work comes from a broken heart, my dear. It's the only time we truly understand the pain and can put into words that only our fellow brokenhearted souls can understand.
