The pain one feels when the one they love gives up on them.

Shattered pieces upon the ground
Glimmer in the dark
Hopes and dreams and someone’s heart
Scattered all about
Pieces so fragile that when picked up
Break into many more
Sadness all around
Over fills you as you wonder what went wrong
But as you realize
Things cannot be put back
It’s your fault her heart is shattered
Her dreams broke in two
Her life no longer seems whole
Now that she’s not with you
You try to say you’re sorry
But words never mend
She’s hurting too much inside
 For your pretending to care
Overtime she will heal
And you will not be with her
After all it’s you who’s done this to her
It will take a lot
But overtime she will love again
And give her heart to another
It may break just like it did
But she will be stronger the second time threw
Thanks to you
She has you to thank for everything
Showing her how to love and give her heart away
Teaching her how much it hurts
When you decide to leave her defending for herself.
She may come back to you
If that’s what you really want
Just show her how much you were wrong
And say you’re sorry one too many times
In the end, she’ll realize her love for you has always been true
Even though her heart shattered
She’ll never give up on you
And will always love you forever,
no matter what.

    Thank you all for your comments. This currently reflects my life right now and what not a better thing to write about. I’m sorry that some of you can relate or are going through this as well. I wish you the best in the process and I found out that you will only grow stronger as each day passes.

    I love this poem. I think there are a lot of people out there that can relate to this poem. It’s sad when people are placed in such positions in their life… I think everyone at one time or another will experience this. I guess it’s all part of the thing called the circle of life.

    thanks for your comment Kassandera! I agree with you. There are definitely lots of people experiencing this and many others soon to follow… I think it’s part of the growing process and learning how to love and not to give your heart away so easily… I think lifes mishaps or adventures if you wish to call them that, help shape our lives and teach us how to protect ourselves from such misfortunes.
