One Day In My Shoes

If only one day you can feel what you put me through Wishing one day you can walk in my two shoes You will feel a pain like you never knew Feeling cut by a million knives, not only a few You will cry so many tears, you never knew you had You will go through that day, constantly feeling sad You will wish that you’ll stop feeling this way Praying that this feeling only last for one day You will feel a pain you can’t describe You will look for places where you can go hide You will send me a message and I won’t reply You will keep on asking a million whys’ You will see me choosing other people over you You will not understand what you are going through You will see me disrespecting you, causing you so much pain And your sunny days will be filled with rain You will long for me and will feel no connection You will look in the mirror staring at a broken reflection You will feel all the hurt and it won’t bother me You will wish what you go through I can only see You will drive to me and I will treat you bad And your sad moments will get more sad You will think of me, wishing you can make it right I wouldn’t want to talk things out and prefer to fight You will feel how it cuts you to the core Having that feeling that you are no longer adored You will fight so hard for us, but will be fighting alone While I’m in my “whatever” zone You will see how I am being selfish Wanting me to change becoming your biggest wish You will care so much and see how I don’t care You will feel that this really isn’t fair You will wish for that one day to end And will feel like nothing your heart can mend

Hi Bee! Came looking for you:) been some time since you last posted on here. I had missed this lovely, sad and expressive poem. I can tell that you put your heart and soul into it. I know that we should forgive, but it is so hard to forget all the pain that a person can cause. ~ Wishing you all the best...take care. hugs // paul

Hi Paul. Oh how good it is to hear from you. Thank you so much for your comment. I agree with it 100%, but I am so proud of my heart :) Had been through so much, but it can still forgive and love. It is the only way moving on from a heartbreaking experience. By forgiving and moving forward. A lot has changed since I wrote this poem. You should check out my latest poem "One more thing" it explains everything :) Have a superb day. Biggest hugs "B"

Love is lovely and love can be a shame, when you try to use love to play a silly game. Love is also vengeful when a person not true, the pain you cause love will turn it on you.

I'll never understand how some can be so heartless and cold to those closest to them... A deeply emotive and very well written poem, B. I can certainly feel your pain in these lines... Congrats on a great win!

It definitely is a difficult one to understand Kelly, but I can honestly say that I learned so much about myself and about life in this hurtful time. Just because they do not care about us, doesn't mean we should stop caring about ourselves. We are worth more than that. We are the authors of the life we want to live and sometimes we need to walk away from the things that no longer serves us. Thank you for your comment and have an awesome day. Much love and big hugs "B"

The pain is proportional to the feelings we have thus walking in one's shoes requires to have the intensity of our feelings! Having said that I have to congratulate you for creating this powerful poetic writing that provokes the heart and soul of the reader! Excellent work and a seven, Dearest BE!

Thank you so much for listing me on your winners list Casarah. I appreciate it a lot and thank you for your word of praise. I am sorry to hear that you are going through that. Just stay strong. We all go through heartbreak one time or another. I personally wish no one had to, but at the end of the day we leave the hurt behind, take the lessons with us and become stronger, wiser versions of ourselves. Just remember. You are exceptional and no one should tell you otherwise. Big Hugs. "B"

This is written by the hand of a woman who has felt love, fear, exultation, grief, guilt, pain and dismay sift through her hands like the sands of time. The deep pool of emotion poured forth in this work almost drowns the reader in self contemplation feeling each emotion so skillfully enlisted by the author. Emile.

Your comment really touches me and I feel honored to share all these emotions with all my poetry sisters and misters. This is the one place that became one of my favorite places to visit real quick and one can express and share any situation and really get to be yourself. Thank you so much for your comment and support Emile. Hugs "B"
