Raven Tones Poet Blank verse

Hollow Uncarved Heart

My heart was broken so long ago

If only i told you I loved you so

Do you think our lives would changed 

Perhaps my heart wouldn't be in chains

Wish I could just rewind the time 

So I could have been yours and you'd be mine

Where is the book that shows the way

To pause time to make it your way

Tell me how did I go wrong

Why does the pain have to feel so long 

Like a hollowed out lump of coal

You would have one day been my diamond 

But now all I feel inside is an empty black hole

It was one live and well now it's dark and I feel like hell

If I told you how I looked at you

Could you have loved me too

Or would it be inevitable 

You'd see me as just a joke

Maybe if I turn my eyes

I'd be quicker to catch your lies

But like time I cannot be turned

Though the words you said were not your own

I pray one day to take you home

Darren White October 11, 2017 at 4:45 AM Hello Raven, you write well. It's not Blank Verse, but somewhere between Free Verse and Rhyme. Blank Verse does not rhyme, but it has a VERY strict meter :) The sadness in your poem is palpable, you write that very well for us to understand. Thank you.
