How could you not see?
How could you not hear?
My shattered heart’s beat
The drop of a tear
You gave up so much
But couldn’t see
What you made me miss:
Being free
You picked me up
So you could crush me down
You chained me with a lock
Underwater I couldn’t drown
You showed me the stars
Then told me I couldn’t have them
Because I’m the air inside jars
Stifled and grim
You told me I was stupid
But also not to cry
You told me I was just a little kid
But that I might get by
You taught me not to care
That maybe I wasn’t human
This was something I could bear
Because I couldn’t run
You didn’t care
But said you did
You weren’t aware
Of how I hid
But how could you not see?
But how could you not hear?
My shattered heart’s beat
The drop of a tear

- As you can tell from my complete profile, I love getting out & doing physical activities, as well as I love the arts. Most people tell me I'm kind of quiet, but maybe that's just because I believe actions speak louder than words. However, I'm definitely a people person & there's hardly anything I enjoy more than hanging out & having fun. I love my friends, and would do anything for them. Whenever I have my heart & will set on a goal, nothing can stand in my way of accomplishing it and trying to be the best in whatever I do.

I like ur poem. It just shows how complex the subject of love is. How fragile the heart is, yet strong at the same time. We must hold ourselves strong. Even in the darkest of times, such as your poem says. Lovely.
That was gorgeous.
You always have the nicest posts.
Happy 2009.

Beautiful poem.
I wish I could write a poem like this one!! It inspired me to try my hand at it. I love to write, but poems always intimidated me. Thanks for posting it! I look forward to reading more of ur poems
OMG! I could so relate to everything in that poem.
Your poem is awesome. It kinda makes me wanna tear up and cry a little. LOL
I wrote a poem few months ago similar to this one, asking how can the guy I loved so much not see the hurt he was causing me to endure.
This is amazing!
*gasp* so rhythmical!
I could never get the hang of rhyming poems…(I envy you)
Despite the fact that I’ve never really like poems that talk about broken love….even though they are very expressive. I like yours…the rhyme won me over.
Aye…keep writing…your style is intriguing.
Later
Fantastic poem. Very real.
very well put :) loved it <3
