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

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.
