My heart is heavy
thinking of you
I've cried
a thousand tears
over you
how many have you cried -if any?
Do you even think about me?--
She has a crack in her heart an feels her body’s a stranger.
She has nothing left but the feeling of having lost it all.
She mourns the future that will never be an struggles to see any light amongst the darkness in her heart.
She feels endless grief, a sadness that makes no space for anything else.
She’s mastered the facade of a life believed to be bright & happy but yet its so dull.
She is that women, that women that falls apart at closed doors, but the same one that has a glowing smile.
No one understands the way she hurts.
She tries hard to not to let the pain break her but it proves to, everyday she fights herself not to fall apart.
Each day is a different day but yet it feels the same. She re-lives the memory of mental pain an still sees the mirrored scars.
She fights to move on but the darkness in her heart won’t leave her, it follows her around like an old friend. But yet they are not friends, the darkness is her enemy.
I have much hope for the fresh new year,
yet I bring into it, a heavy broken heart
My steps are slow and burdened,
and my mind is fogged with grief
But I have hope that God will carry me
until I am able to walk on my own
I’m so tired of goodbyes and I dread those new hellos
I dread those new hellos because I can’t take another goodbye
So I guess I’ll just stick to what I’m used to
I try looking on the brighter side but somehow those energy suckers just come around and leave me less than full of life
You get judged when you’re rich and you get judged when you’re pour
I want to do better for my life
I’m not staying broke my entire life
I’m judged for not having kids but if I have them with the wrong person I’ll be judged even more
I look around waiting for the hard work to pay off
I get tired but I take no days off
Hands in my pocket
Walking around with a heavy heart
Deep inside I’m falling apart and nobody knows
Deep inside I scream I just want the success to come already
I want to be better
I think about my life on a daily
Carrying these heavy heart around keeps my mind going like crazy
Even if you ask me, 'how are you?"
I'll say I'm fine, keeping the mask on.
Either I'm scared to tell you,
Or I don't want you to know this pain.
I'm better off without a savior,
At least this disease won't reach you.
You'll be safe, and smile,
Because this heart is under immense gravity.
It'll rip you apart into pieces,
And set me into flames.
You're far better than knowing the truth,
Because this darkness is beyond your control
Far deep within the realms of this heaviest heart of mine,
There is more to everything I have ever said to you.
Here in my heart lies hurt feelings, on the other side of this line.
My battered razor cut tormented heart
So tender so heavy and full of tears
My heart sunk into the consuming unforgiving fathoms
Of the darkest deepest coldest sea
The waves never washed the tears away
The crimson blood bled and dispersed diluted
Eventually vanishing into obscurity
The pincushion remains of my tender heart
Just festered and decayed
Under layers and layers of silt
Never missed unloved, out of sight
And out of reach.
Carrying the heaviness of Earth inside heart
Oh!!! God why this human race is so harsh?
Birds dying, nature crying
But the humans are flying
Is this a development?
Where every single minute one of the pillar of humanity is devastating
Selflessness converting into selfishness
Empathy converting into apathy
Can't this world be again evolutionised?
Can't we erase this so called development and growing memory from people's mind?
What would be the fate of beauty of Nature?
Will it fade? Will it be destroyed?
What would be the future,will there not be any trees ,flowers greenary present?
Will this whole world would be mere a giant terrible structure of buildings???
You’ll always be in my heart.
Can’t bear the pain when we are apart.
Nobody is as special as you are to me.
I hope you are beginning to see.
I can’t describe how much I care.
But when you need me, I’ll be there.
To wipe those tears when you are sad,
To make you happy when you are mad.
All these things I can really do.
Just remember I’m thinking of you!
Twice on the forehead
a kiss was placed on the skin
to bid farewell the false alarm
of proposed dreams
for the once heavy heart
~ has found its peace

Bite Size Poem no.47
Oftentimes one has to experience pain and traumas and be emerged into the fire to feel it’s heat and warmth of self reflection to appreciate the small things in lige that one oftentimes take for granted.
Whilst hot tears washed away the signs of the pain,
he couldn't stop crying, and his heart quivered.
Dawn song / sweet trills / thin flute roused
Splayed light / warm vibe / worn slats doused
Dream haunts / harsh cough / plumb tears smart
Heart touched / mixed thoughts / frail past frouse
A heavy heart
Makes for a new start
Life is finite
Time to be contrite
Apologies for recommending life
Insurance brings less strife
Farewell my friends, good
Others will save and invest for your brood
When you break a bone you will mend
When your heart is broken the mind will tend
Scar’s form in the body and also the mind
One you see and feel and want to leave behind
They will slowly fade but the memories will last
Time is precious to continue without the past
Pain to one’s heart is the same to the bone
It leaves you splintered and feeling alone.
Each step you take is precautionary and slow
After all you’ve taken quite a blow
Fallen from wounded trust and that tore apart
Leaves a heavy burden to bone and heart
