Pearls Don'T Shine No More

I am done beseeching, I am done disrespecting myself. Grabbing onto twigs while drowning in a well. Wells don't have no shells. I am here writhing in pain and you look so well. Your eyes which I thought were pearls, they don't shine no more, My heart was like a paper to you, which you so easily tore. You love me so less, You don't care for me at all. Yet you want me to answer at your every call. I so stupidly run in your direction, Mistaking your affectation for affection. Then you abandon me with no explanation, Here I am asking myself hundreds of questions. Your eyes they are souless, Your words, they are meaningless. I am letting you go , This wound is going to turn sore . But I am ready to move ahead, The coffin's ready it's now time to bury the dead.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A very moving, powerful poem Garmia . There is inner strength and hope within your words though to know when enough is enough and time to let go of which I admire. May your eyes always keep shining towards someone worthy of receiving them. Blessings to you.

This poem depicts the crestfallen state when I realised that it was always me who was invested the whole time, other person was just toying with my emotions .I am so glad that you liked my poem dear.Thanks a lot for your kindness.
