You Broke My Heart

You broke my heart; I had no clue that you could ever be untrue. Our time was great. You can’t deny together we were flying high! Why did you leave? What did I do? How did I ever misconstrue the way you felt? The man I knew would never want to see me cry. You broke my heart. When after all that we’d been through, I can’t believe you turned into a stranger! You became the guy who didn’t even say goodbye when always I’d been there for you. You broke my heart. Feb. 10, 2017

Very nice, the read reminds me of some of the mine. My new poem Finding Her Words, another one called Lillian :) Yes you should get your granddaughter to write :)

Imagine me being drawn to this one. :) Your words just flow in this one. Nice words to rhyme and I think the subject matter lends itself to allowing ourselves to indulge in a cathartic flexing of our heart muscle. Or maybe it's massaging it. Either way, it's an indulgence. :)

That's the saddest part...the once intimate, turning into strangers! Congrats, Andrea!

I can't believe anyone would do that to you. How easily you seem to compose your words. I think of that crazy song, "They're coming to take me away" when I read this because you have a rhythm in these words. It could make a great song!!

Duke, I made this up, but of course, like most people, I have had my heart broken!

Was I broke before you broke my heart or ended up broke after you broke my heart? If things are always broken into, can they also be broken into three?

Andrea you chose what for some of us is a difficult form and hit it out of the ballpark. Bravo! If for a contest, I wish you success. Love, Carolyn
