All That I Am Worth

ShadowPsychos on Aug 17, 2010

…just another quick one…i have loads to write which I am getting back to tomorrow

Waiting to hear you whisper those words…

to declare you no longer find contentment with me

when once you loved me endlessly…

but eternity was never meant to be

false hope was always written in your eyes

the torch you carried has now faded

….bled dry

at least now, so will the lies

they’ll burn with the memories of us

the shards of my heart are trampled on

….deflated

and you seem unfazed

you always come out unscathed

while i lay ripped at the seams

this is all that’s left for me,

of the person i could have been

my mind clinging to worn ties

for all that i am worth

because of you i am left broken

….degraded

You have loved and been loved,
broken hearted but, perhaps, not for long,
for your new love is but a heart beat away,
to renew the shattered and make it strong.
I like your poem

I think the last two lines could either be left out or moved up. The poem would be more forceful if it ended with that “for all I’m worth.” That is an interesting double meaning, you are holding onto what you have for all you’re worth and you are indicating that you have little worth, at least to your ex.
