Best Shattered Heart Poems
Within Shattered Heart, Remained A Fire Still Lit
Beset by grievous sorrows, his past full of sins
facing darkest evil truth, not mind's wishful spins,
what else could a deeply broken man try to do
when lamenting soul was tormented by loss of you?
Life carried on, nights became his one true solace
finding retreat, leaving behind this world's malice,
with his memories of your smile and glowing face
prayers cried out, that no other could your love replace.
Within shattered heart, remained a fire still lit
from its leaping flames, came echoes sent to transmit
depths of soul's faith in someday again meeting you
living life as one, as you both had planned to do.
Always, reality's hope crashing, came to bear
Epic loneliness, he is here, while you are there.

Sonnet, ( Death's Epic Pains That Remain)
In a place where love's tender glow once shone,
A girl with a broken heart stands alone.
She wonders why this guy inflicts such pain,
Leaving her bewildered, her tears like rain.
Her heart, once whole, now fragmented and torn,
She questions why she's left so forlorn.
The puzzle of his actions she can't grasp,
Yearning for answers, but they elude her grasp.
She gazes at the stars with tearful eyes,
Seeking solace in the moonlit skies.
Unable to fathom his callous ways,
Her shattered heart a testament, it displays.
Yet within her, a flicker of strength remains,
A resilience to heal from love's cruel stains.
For deep within her tender soul, she'll find,
The power to mend, leave the pain behind.
Though she cannot fathom why he caused distress,
In time, she'll find the courage to progress.
A broken heart, though painful, can still mend,
And love's true beauty, once more, she'll comprehend.
Every life has courage
Every life can see the light
Every life can see the truth
Every life is a priceless piece
Every day can be trailblazing
Everyday dialect has an exact mannerism
Every day has clues that suggest steadiness
Every day has prolific languages
Everything brought you here
Everything implies you still have a chance
Everything from the yesteryear breathes inside you
Everything is an avocation that you exist
Every second entails presumptions centered on phenomena’s
Every second of apprehension can encumber the last
Every second devours time
Every second gave you a venture to be here now
Every one of us desires permanency
Every one of us strains to attain
Every one of us has distinctions
Every one of us has a speech
Every one of us can generate a spark
Every Life
Every Day
Everything
Every Second
Everyone Of Us
Can Make a Difference
Shattered Heart
Take this shattered heart
Help me to make a new start –
New approaches wait
Shattered heart,
Veins apart,
Shattered heart,
Is just a start...
Trust of yolk has been taken away,
All hypes and vibes been shaken astray,
The emptiness of hate still won't go away,
Sunken cries goes on with betray.
Shattered heart oh shattered heart!
Thou your pieces is still at bay,
But mighty Healer,the great dart,
Will wash away the pain at hay!
Shattered heart,
Pain at start,
Shattered heart,
Rejoice at last...
I was there not too long ago,
Everything seemed fine.
You looked like a happy, healthy family,
But I guess looks can be deceiving can’t they.
That very night,
You broke my brothers heart.
It’s shattered in pieces,
To never be put back together again.
It’s like humpty dumpty,
and his wall.
He’s fallen off the cliff,
and will never find his way up.
Not only have you taken his heart,
And ripped it in two.
But you’ve also taken away his little girls,
That’s just something you don’t do to someone.
I used to doubt it when people said you were messed,
But all doubts are gone now!
I stood up for you,
When no one else would.
Saying you were great,
And that you were just going through something.
But now I see that it was all a waste of time.
Even when you were sleeping around with other guys,
He still loved you.
He never did anything to hurt you,
Never even saw another girl.
Even when you were with someone else.
He always figured that things would work out,
And they often did.
But this is something he will never forget.
He trusted you,
And you broke that bond.
He loved you,
He still does.
The shards of his heart,
Are aching because they can’t ever let you go.
I used to think you were cool,
I used to look up to you,
I used to love you,
But not anymore!
Now I realize that your just a dumb girl,
Who doesn’t deserve a man like him.
You don’t even deserve a man at all.
The girls, my innocent little nieces,
Don’t deserve a mother like you.
They deserve a mother who loves them,
Who cares about them.
A mother that won’t go and sleep with a guy,
After only two weeks of knowing him.
They deserve a mother,
Not you!
The heart aches with pain of betrayal...
Trusted thoughts, secrets, desires were handed over delicately, hesitantly, carefully…
To the gentle healer…
Full of kindness, tenderness, gentleness...
The secrets of the heart laid bare with hopes of healing….
The struggle with desire declared with vulnerability...
With open hands and open heart….
Trust was blindly given…
Why would the gentle healer betray the trusting heart so vulnerable?
Abandoned and alone in the sterile, clinical world where no heart beats…
Where kindness, and gentleness and tenderness are not valued…
Tears, cries of anguish, pain, passion all dissolved into wet showers of tears falling down…
Into the soft white blanket ….
Hidden from the living and breathing world….
The gentle healer died….
Where was he?…she cried…
Where was the one who had listened for one hundred and twenty four hours?
Where was the tender heart?
Why would no voice echo back to her calls?
Where had her gentle healer gone?
Why could he not hear her cries?
Her confusion intensified…her longings intensified…
The meeting of shame ….turned her world upside down….
The brain cannot make sense of love taken so abruptly….
The blame and shame centered on the broken and bruised one…
Confusion….Anger at God…Why? Why? Why?
Why did God not answer her cries for help?
Why did God not answer the only cry of her heart?
To be taken home…into His glorious presence….free from pain….
Why…would God send her back to earth…
To suffer the betrayal with pain so great…
The heart is shattered….the pieces are too many to put back together…
Trust…faith…hope….gone…
Despair, depression, pain….
The Shattered Heart….
Pain, hurt, grief, emotional dissatisfaction
Tormenting in great detail my spirit being
Disappointments in distinct fashion
Immense heartache like never seen
Causative organism – a pretty disguised damsel
Deceptive thoughts made her look unique
Now her confessions piercing down my nostril
Deep regrets for entrusting my most cherished antique
Pieces of my heart scattered everywhere
Friends and loved ones showing colossal sympathy
Words of encouragement here and there
The ruthless “devil” displaying stinking apathy
Modest, true and faithful – one day I will find
So we can solemnize in holy matrimony
For now suicidal intent is running through my mind
I bear in my heart so much acrimony
Remember when you swore to stay?
And with my heart you'd never play.
Although every last word was a lie,
Never will i wish that you would die.
Because of you my heart is shattered.
Broken, beaten, bruised and battered.
I love you still, through this all,
For i shall rise and you shall fall
The pain you caused, of heart and mind,
Is nothing compared to what you will find.
For i rise to heaven, you fall to hell,
Your tormented screams, like churches' bell
This is it, my last words to you.
It's sad but a little funny too.
We are now forever apart,
Just like the shattered pieces of my heart.
They warned me of your eyes,
telling me of each and every lie.
You whispered sweet words into my ears,
making my world stop.
But little did I know you’d steal my heart,
then,
oh so carefully,
tearing it apart.
i search for love in all the wrong places not knowing that it would cost me my heart oh how painful it was as i wash my heart being shattered in to million pieces i waited for someone to come to my rescue and help me put the pieces of my heart back together but no-one came my way and i was left in the cold to die alone i sometimes wonder where do i belong whether here or there i am tossed around like a ragdoll waiting to be held but once they have you they use you they hurt you and throw you away like a useless thing that has never existed why then should they constantly repetitively try and cheer me up when the substance of my joy is you they insisted to advise me to erase you of my mind but i tell them how can i when all that's on my mind its you what is to escape what are we escaping from is it not our nightmares is it what we cannot control is it the fear to lose the ones we love the most or the fear to be left alone and have no-one to be there for us
From friends to filigree
They all agree
You shattered my heart
I played the fool
And did my part
I allowed your games
From the start
A pound of flesh
In hopes of a new start
A chance to refresh
For all the cupids in heaven
Could not bring us back together
Or settle the score and make it even
All in all I forgive you not
You stole my dignity and left me in a knot
For that I hope there is a special place in hell
For you to rot
for a boy who has lost everything multiple times
one would think he would be used to it.
even though he has gone through heartbreak and lies
tears start strolling down from his eyes.
again he has lost something that has hurt the tape around his heart.
as the boy still speaks
he cannot say
as the boy still moves
he is paralyzed.
as the boy starts to re-tape his heart
a piece falls out
the boy holds the piece of his heart in his hand.
realizing just how small the biggest piece was
the boy starts to turn those tears into rivers
flowing down his cheeks
as if the ocean was near.
the boy cant control himself anymore
his lip curls
his nose gets soaked in snot
his bottom lip starts quivering
the pain is to much
the boy screams in sorrow.
the heart, shattering through the tape.
all over the floor the heart sits.
each piece rugged with the cracks of every break
the boy still holds onto the biggest piece
and he walks away.
the rest of his heart
still laying there on the floor
for his heart has turned to glass slivers
that no one will touch
Shattered Heart
Wish I had a story to tell
But I doubt I could tell it well.
For there’s a wall around my shattered heart,
Scribbled down lines at an attempt to start.
My mind is open but my thoughts aren’t free,
There’s a shadow of mystery surrounding me.
For every time you’re close, I run away,
While spending my days trying to make you stay.
I don’t know when I’ve gained, but I know when I lose,
I run around crazily with my neck in a noose.
I desperately search for what I already got,
But I’m determined to fail when I have a shot.
I’m a distant runner yet I’m standing still,
I’m an open book with a closed seal.
Trained to attack but this dog don’t bite,
I love to pick but hate to fight.
So my greatest advice to you is to let me be,
I’m way too complicated from what your eyes can see.
I’m a shattered heart with no time to heal,
A tortured soul left after a kill.
She cried on the phone as she told me the news.
I listened as I put myself in her shoes.
This dear friend I've loved for thirty-five years.
We've shared some sorrow,some laughter,and beers.
The love of her life is now gravely ill;
a cancer with no cure and no magic pill.
His chance for recovery is very slim.
And she says she won't live a day without him.
So I packed my bags and I raced to her side.
I held her head in my arms as we cried.
We talked for hours deep into the night
I felt her release by the still morning light.
There's so much power in the love of a friend.
It can surely help a broken heart to mend.
