Premium Member Shattered but not Broken
My heart shattered the day my son died and it has taken months of going through the motions to feel like I am living again but I am different as my shattered heart gets mended by God and my many loved ones I imagine it pieced together with beautiful patches...

No time left
Oh, I have plenty of time darling I just have no time left for you, I don’t care what you are doing, Have done or are going to do. I don’t see you as a husband now Heck, I don’t even see you as a friend, Just so you are sure- it’s because of you We have reached this...

Premium Member Under a broken umbrella
I was not shaped by a mother, but by a wet curb, which said: “Take him, Lord, he’s no one’s, maybe it’s some kind of trick.” I learned to comb my sadness with a chipped comb, pulling out memories that pretended to be forgotten, but howled...

That's what I Get
Right when i thought it was time to start (that's what I get) Everything started falling apart (how could i forget?) Broken heart Finding out I was never a part... As soon as I think I've found (that's what I get for thinking) What I think is stable ground (how could i keep forgetting?) I start to hear a familiar sound My...

All the broken people I look around and see so many Then I realize I am one Of the broken people All the broken people Looking and waiting For answers that don’t seem to appear Waiting to be heard Waiting to be seen Waiting for an answer All the broken people Needing to be put together One more time Or Maybe Some of us broken people Don’t...

Premium Member Broken Glass
Broken Glass My thoughts like broken glass. Pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. I can’t put my finger on the right one(s). I look through each one. They look so clear. Stained Glass God's light shines through. I suffered through the process. Serendipity of stained glass. When I let go, the colors amazed me so, and not just that, but the stories they told. Fragile prayers Yes, this earth is...

The Banner of My Broken Heart
I was not born to be loved— but to bleed beauty into silence. Where others kissed, I shattered. Where others lived, I died quietly— and rose as flame. From my heartline, a river of sorrow carved my name into the Mount of the Sun. The gods gave me a flag stitched with every wound I’ve ever wept. Not a flag of nations, but of nations of the heart. Every soul...

Premium Member Broken-Hearted Helena

This is a reward for my noble deed. Bertram thinks I'm someone he doesn't need. I love the king's ward, and I want him so, but he...

As I Slam Arthritic Hands Into A Broken Keyboard, Nobody Can Hear Me Screaming
In a rather egotistical and pathetic attempt to immortalize myself, in something I lost, everything. And now that I’ve burned all of my bridges and I’m drowning, the only thing I have left to do is work. And it's not working. And the only ones praising my work are little kids, the same age I was when I broke everything. Lucky me. I watch them do the same foolish things, reaching for...

Children of broken promises
Title: Children of Broken Promises (25 Lines) They signed their names in ink made of blood, A treaty scrawled on the bones of the poor. They shook hands under marble skies, While cities burned in silent uproar. Children played with bullets for toys, Lullabies hummed in the throat of a drone. A mother stitched hope into her shawl, But war tore the thread and...

The Prophets of Broken Fates
The woman was a prophet, though many forgot it. She read the fates for others, she helped many lovers. Never once did she look into her own soul, she never tried to find what would make her whole. But one day, she wished on a star— that she could find a love that would go far. A man with a long beard prophesied...

Broken Heart
My heart is filled with so much sorrows. It is aching from disappointments, betrayals, deceptions and lies. How can I stop it from hurting, from crying, and from screaming in pain. My heart is no longer whole, but in fragments. How could I start mending you when I need you to cope. Where do I...

Death Has Crossed My Horizon
I do not heal as when I was young— Time has slowed its gentle hands, And left me in a hush of dusk, With brittle bones and shifting sands. The skies I once believed would stay Have wept their stars and turned away, And I—still dreaming—drift between The shadowed now, the might-have-been. My dreams are lucid, sharp as glass, Each night I walk the...
