Heartbreak

My world had changed overnight

Doors that were once open had now closed

Dreams I once had now lay broken shattered on the floor of despondency

 

For what reason I could not understand

Where lay my mistakes?

What had I done so wrong?

 

The repetitive beat of my heart bore witness

That I was still alive

Yet the winds of no consolation are blowing through the hole in my chest

Where my heart once was!

Wow! You did a fantastic job. If someone had never experienced heartbreak this poem would explain it to them perfectly. You brought those emotions to life! Great write!

usually lack of trust and communication are the culprit for many heartbreaks, many times we expect or think our loved ones should "know us better than that" but often the case is, the loved one is just as confused with the same questions. I have asked myself the same questions and experienced the same feelings repeatedly in the last few months, what I should have done, what happened, I think after a time it all just gets so heavy I have to lay it down and regroup, gather strength, to pick it up again or purge, it's hard to do that if everything keeps contradicting itself, especially when most of the realities of the circumstances are in question.
On one hand, I KNOW what happened, on the other hand I wonder if it all happened at all, it feels like a sensory deprivation tank , for instance, one instance right after a major shock to myself and my safety base, I dream't I
was speaking to someone I love, I remember giving vows inside my head, on a subconscious level, but the same someone acted like I needed a rubber room, even after writing poems about it, anyway strange things a foot these days, it can be very devastating to loose a major loved one, even more so if you carry huge guilt feelings for such happenings. So long story short..I can totally relate to this poem.
