Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Break Down the Wall To My Heart

Such bitterness, heartbreak and pain
Never ever want to get hurt again

Built a brick wall around my heart
Will I ever rebuild it now we are apart

Betrayed by one you once adored
Trust once gone can’t be restored

Maybe in time the pain I will reveal
And my inner hurt I won’t conceal

The wall will gradually start breaking down
Maybe smile again, no longer wear a frown

In time I will move on, my heart will be free
Re-discover the person I once used to be

Lucilla Carrillo September 1, 2014 at 1:12 AM This is just beautiful. When someone breaks our heart - it takes a long time to heal, or someone very special to break the wall down. It can happen. Thanks for sharing.... Lucilla Jan Allison September 1, 2014 at 1:23 AM thanks for the lovely comment Lucilla:-) hugs Jan xx

Frederic Parker August 31, 2014 at 2:15 PM though you say it's fictional as writers we tend to leave a piece of ourselves in everything we write..the substance of this poem is wrapped in truth my poetic friend Jan Allison August 31, 2014 at 2:20 PM Thanks for the lovely comment Frederic - yes I guess I can relate to it in my youth. I don't think any of us don't get hurt in a relationship of some kind at some stage of our lives. Hugs Jan xx

Eileen Manassian August 31, 2014 at 1:37 PM Jan...this is a powerful write. I've often felt this way too. That wall....it can also serve as a prison...Make sure that you let in those who love you. Hugs Jan Allison August 31, 2014 at 1:44 PM Purely a fictional write Eileen but I am sure people can relate to it:-) Hugs Jan xx

Gary Bateman August 31, 2014 at 1:31 PM Hello Jan . . . Your use of the Couplet form is the perfect vehicle (my opinion) for capturing the intensity of the emotions and feelings revealed as the poem builds out. An extraordinary job with powerful succinct articulation. I find that sometimes the shorter poems when so crafted can make a bigger impact than some of the longer poems. One can sense and feel the emotion in this poem. Beautiful Work!! Cheers, Gary Jan Allison August 31, 2014 at 1:43 PM Many thanks Gary for the lovely comments.I originally formatted it with 4 lines then changed it to couplets so thanks to your comments I know I made the right decision. Hugs Jan xx
