Broken

Are matches useless once they are used

Can love be love if someone's heart is abused

Can you love someone else, if your heart is still bruised...

We are hurt, yes, but not broken...

I wanted to leave her but before i could say it, I would start choking

I'm usually a joker but this time I wasn't joking.

She was once my queen, but I am no more her King.

Empty promises and broken dreams.

I learned a Promise Ring can turn into just a ring.

So a broken song I now sing.

We are hurt, yes, but not broken.

So I keep my chin up and keep hoping.

To meet the one I deserve.

Give her all my heart, even though it's missing a third.

Oh Your poems are heart breaking full of the promises of love and romance only for it to end so sadly and you are obviously hurting - it happens to us all my friend. Just move on with no regrets and just learn from the past. Hugs jan xxxx

To be honest, these are poems from experiences from my past. I am 22 years old and enjoy writing. Sometimes I think of a story and write, just because writing about these types of experiences allow people to connect. Thank you for your kind words again Jan! Much appreciated my friend. And stay tuned, the next writing i post will be full of happiness and romance.
