The Silence of My Bleeding Heart

I feel so lost and alone

This silence really takes a toll

I can feel my heart beat

To the saddest melody

Even my head adds to the sympathy

With my cries and thoughts in my mind

Tell me how love can be the opposite of kind

Everything seems broken and thrown away

I didn't know I could mess up love this much till today

Loving another feels like a curse

I have everything I need so why do I feel this hurt

Happiness is what I should be, with the one I see currently

But my heart got tangled in this mess

And now I'm not ready to confess

I just want to be with the one I'm with

However things got complicated till no end

Not only does my heart yield for her 

But she doesn't want me and that burns

I shouldn't love her like I do

But my heart wants her so

Even if I need to let her go

So you see my silence here tonight

I set here in the dark while my heart fights

If only I didn't have to think about how love bites

How I just want to be with the one who has the other set of rings

But I can't get a hold of anything it seems

Love is not always easy....

Thank you for this beautiful piece! I can relate to your choice of words. I am a fan of the title as well!

Unrequited love is the hardest of all. Inspires some great poems though... this is one... Ive plenty up on the topic too, alas... Im a bit of an expert in the genre if not in writing itself!

Beautiful and amazing use of words.
"I shouldn't love her like I do
But my heart wants her so
Even if I need to let her go
So you see my silence here tonight
I set here in the dark while my heart fights
If only I didn't have to think about how love bites"
The above lines were outstanding. I could feel the yearning and the need. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you for the kind words. I wrote this out of pure emotion hoping that some how it would help me let go.

This is exactly what love does to us. Scientists research say that falling in love is literally the same as being drugged. Funny, right?

[Kittyskittles]

It is. It's funny how love can be so painful and so rewarding as well

[Jayne Doe]

Really great writing. I could really relate to it and it's truthful sadness.
