What Love's Pain Looks Like

Do you want to see? 
What love’s pain looks like?
Wait, I will hold my heart out
In plain sight

See the wounds that she caused by rejection?
See the holes from the lack of her affection
See the rents caused by my depression
Because of rips from her adulterous confession

The slashes from her harsh words she said
And the bits hacked off from the jealousy in my head
There you can see, I tried to patch it up with tears
Only to sever my hear again with “How can I live without you fear”

Friends tried with consoling words to heal my pain
She just tramples my heart and mashes up my brain

Do you to see 
What love’s pain looks like?
 I hold my heart out
It is attached to a spike

Ooooh, this is so sad..... I'm very sorry for what you're going through if this is somewhat of a bio. You make the reader feel the wretched pain you are enduring. Best wishes to you.

I enjoyed reading your poetry today, very creative and illustrates your deeper feelings. I believe quite a majority of people have been in this place before...You grow from it though. I hope to read more from you soon. -Matthan

Surely, Sydney, wounds of rejection are holes, rents .... effectively you have worded the pangs of love
