Tatianna Leachet Poet Rhyme

Shattered Glass

My heart is broken as I crawl to you
I have become simply a pile of shattered glass
My eyes turn into a sea of blue
Only in time will the pain pass

I am falling
I need you there to catch me
A cry of help, I am calling
I am calling for a chance to break free

I try to make it through the lies
I try to leave it all behind
But nothing can be hidden behind these suffering eyes
Surely, I must be blind

After every hit I take
I still forgive, but I refuse to forget
The memories only make my mind ache
I haven’t let go yet

And when I stop to think about it
The shattered glass breaks more and more
Because of him, my wrists have become slates to slit
“I’ll never hurt you,” he swore

David William Breidenthal November 14, 2016 at 6:27 PM I can sympathize with what you're going through emotionally-speaking. I can relate to the grief and the suffering in this poem, but it is written so well. It is deep, sorrowful and gracious. A 7 for such a good verse. Tatianna Leachet November 14, 2016 at 8:26 PM Thank you very much :) David William Breidenthal November 14, 2016 at 6:27 PM -JWE

Lilly Davis November 6, 2016 at 8:49 PM This is one of the deepest most emotional poems I've read... I think we are more alike then I thought Tatianna Leachet November 6, 2016 at 9:26 PM Quite possibly

Chicano Eddie November 2, 2016 at 9:29 PM This is interesting. If the person it's upon read it, I'm positive it'd hit them directly. Good, job. Keep it up. Tatianna Leachet November 2, 2016 at 10:18 PM Thank you. Although, knowing the person of whom my poem is about, if they were to stummble upon my work, they could care less about the pain and sad memories that they have given me. Not everyone can shine as bright as the sun.

Chris Green November 1, 2016 at 9:46 AM Such a deeply sad and lonely poem, which is only to be expected when a broken heart is fueling the pen. I could feel this because I know this. You have expressed these emotions beautifully. Tatianna Leachet November 1, 2016 at 11:45 AM Thank you. Sometimes it takes a broken heart to write about one, without a broken heart, you won't know how to express one.

Phil Capitano October 31, 2016 at 7:35 AM Words are powerful and not everyone stands behind theirs; I have a poem called "Scar" that you might relate to...verbal abuse. Tatianna Leachet October 31, 2016 at 8:24 AM Thank you. I will definitely check out your poem.

Probir Gupta October 31, 2016 at 6:37 AM Very good emotional reflections in your nice poem ... Tatianna Leachet October 31, 2016 at 6:47 AM Thank you.

Heidi Sands October 31, 2016 at 5:42 AM Very sad, expressive and powerful write. You can leave it behind! You can. Tatianna Leachet October 31, 2016 at 5:46 AM Thank you. I try each and every day to bury it in the dirt.
