About This Poem

Jaded

When the memories of us are draped across my sorry eyes, 
They're fitted poorly with the thought of you and I being tailor-made. 
Oh, it's been killing me to see the face of our love's demise-
My emotions committed suicide from being so jaded...

I broke every bone in me when I fell for you, 
Fastened this heart outside my chest for it to be torn in two.
I put all my guts on display only to be thrown away- 
Tell me baby, is love supposed to feel this way? 

Even if you gave me one good reason to stay, 
I'd tell you love shouldn't feel this way. 
Come on and give me one good reason to stay,
You know that love shouldn't feel this way. 

I broke every bone in me when I fell for you, 
Fastened this heart outside my chest for it to be torn in two.
I put all my guts on display, but you threw them all away-
Baby, I know love isn't supposed to feel this way. 

The memories of us are draped across my sorry eyes, 
Fitted poorly with the thought of you and I being tailor-made...

    I agree with all of these comments. I read this and felt the emotion, the pain, the POWER... I am glad to have read this poem tonight. It's crazy how we can relate to each other...these words ring with our own interpreted truths. It is very rewarding to see that someone else has gone through something similar. What's more rewarding, is reading a poem expressing these emotions in such a perfect, fitting way. Thanks for sharing and keep up the amazing work. Always, Laura

    Love doesn't feel this way. Love is perfect and kind and I hope you have heaps of it in your life. Loss and rejection hurt and your poem rubbed on a raw nerve for me. Thank you for sharing xxx

    So hard not to become jaded when it comes to fickled-love. It's not suppose to be that way. Love the lyrics !! Congrats on your win !!

    Love this poem, you are a very talented and powerful writer. Congrats on your win.

    This piece is strong in it's simplicity. Love is complicated but love should never make you feel lonely. I can easily see this being sung and I thought it was really cool how the piece went full circle with you repeating the first 2 lines again. A good metaphor to end on.

    Anne, I got one word for you.... "CONGRATULATIONS!" ;-)...PD

    I like this very much. The best poets are the ones who can put their thoughts in dramatic form. You do that quite well. Bravo

    Well I'm not a critic, but I think the repetition adds to the meaning and actually allows more emotion to be felt. You've heard the expression about something that keeps playing in your head. It can be a song, a memory, sometimes we hold on to certain ideals, when all else fails. Love isn't supposed to feel this way. Paraphrased slightly differently I've probably said it a thousand times in my head. Great work.

    I love constructive criticism :) I agree with you- so I did some editing! I feel like less is more in these song lyrics, the repetition was taking from it. Thank you! Hugs

    When after fifteen years of being married and you still feel this way about your loved one, that's when you have it made. Always enjoy reading your work.

    Well done! I hope you put this to song one day.

  1. Date: 1/27/2013 8:58:00 AM

    You have a lot of passion. You express it with eloquence and a tinge of tragedy and wisdom already! I truly believe you have a happy heart. Thank you for putting it all out there. Broken bones end up stronger than bones never broken, but it certainly does hurt--ouch ouch ouch!
