My heart used to beat for you,
Now it doesn’t beat at all,
Don’t you remember?
You promised to never let me fall.
Remember the line we drew?
Well, we’ve crossed that line,
You pulled the plug on my heart,
You watched me flatline.
You brought me light,
When I was in the dark,
When my heart had stopped,
You made it start.
A lasting friendship makes it past the count of ten,
Well, ours stopped at nine,
You tore my heart out,
And watched me flatline.
You were my joy,
When life was filled with pain,
You were the sunny day,
That drove out the rain.
I know you hate me now,
But that’s fine,
Because you broke the rhythm of my heartbeat,
And you’re watching me flatline.
Maureen:
I see stars in your cloudless eyes,
If you didn’t care,
Then why’d you cry?
You believed so strong,
That we went wrong
The proof is in your touch
Terry:
You were so young when I saw your face,
We lit a match on our last day
The letters wrote,
They within me choked
They didn’t mean that much
Wake up, Wake up
Wake me from my dreams
Maureen:
Make up, Make up
Say you’ll be with me
Terry:
You dug your heel in my bleeding heart,
By in my head you ripped our love apart
Unfaithfully sat,
In a cab
He had you from the start
You said:
“Babe I want you more,
Forget that kid with a police record
He’s long gone,
Let’s have fun”
The story goes on and on
Maureen:
I want you more and more each day,
I can’t believe you pushed me away
You tore my heart,
My notes apart
I’m drowning in my stars
Terry, my love, if I had one wish
I wish you could please grant me this
One last dance,
Before in time we pass
Save a dance for us
Wake up, Wake up
Wake me from my dreams
Make up, Make up
Say you’ll be with me
Make up, Make up
Say you’ll be with me
Make up, Make up
Save a dance for me
In the labyrinth of my heart, I chose you without seeking happiness or filling a void,
There was no plan in this slipping into the snares of love.
I truly fell in love with you because
You showed me how to cherish and see love catch the echo.
I found you beloved, when even you didn't believe in your own light,
I fell in love with genuine laughter and with eyes that, without words, said everything.
But the moment you started to put everything before "us,"
You tore my heart, I felt it come out and be trampled.
You stole the definition of what we shared,
Our wall of glass easily gave way, turning into thorns that pierce my soul, and you hold the hammer.
You chose this path of destruction, dragging us with you into the abyss,
Even when I begged you to reconsider, even when I screamed for you to stop.
When something breaks, it doesn't fall all at once.
It's a slow, agonizing descent, each tiny shard stabbing the chest repeatedly.
And maybe that's why you feel the collapse before it happens,
For you were the sculptor, and my heart—your work, endlessly shattered.
I I loved you from the very start. I even loved you when you tore my heart apart. I had to put myself back together again, but sadly allowed you to do it all over even when, I knew that you never really loved me. You never really cared, and it's painfully not fair because I gave you All of me.
I I loved you from the very start, and we're two completely different worlds apart, love doesn't make you smart. My heart would beat were your heart left off. I thought that connection was a blessing, man was I was confused it was a lesson! to teach me how to be strong, even when I am wronged. I've learned how to carry on. My heart can beat for two, your heart will always only beat for you. You have no clue how to love.
I loved you from the very start, but now we have to be apart.
I love myself enough to let you go, I love myself enough to say No! No to the mental anguish, and pain asking myself am I going insane?
I I should have loved myself from the very start, and now that we're apart, I feel like me again.
I I will now always, love myself from the start! wont let ANY man tear me apart.
I made a world around it
I made another world
Where you're not really welcome
You belong in the other world
Don't delve into my creation
Don't think you have a half a chance
Don't wish that somehow I'd love you
Don't ask and I won't have to disappoint
I made a world around it
So I wouldn't have to feel the pain
I killed my own self so that I could be reborn
I made a world and buried it
In the deepest ocean of my mind
Sometimes I feel it's trying to escape
To make me feed off all your lies
I made my world better
Better than yours, his, hers, theirs
It's built within my mind
So no one can destroy it
Don't seek because you will not find
I made a world around it
Using the power of my mind
I lost something that can not be replaced
No matter how hard I'd try to find
I made my world without you
Because you tore my heart in two
I made my world without you
Because I no longer love you
What I Am supposed to do
My tears fill up the ocean blue
Because you tore my heart in two
And you don't have a clue
Try walking a mile in my shoe
Please understand my point of view
I feel so sick like I've got the flu
Now my tears will see my through
My heart was yours,you never knew
Our love story was shared by only a few
Your sweet kisses was like morning dew
And my feelings for you will always be true

Inspired by the create a idiom contest
You are my unquenched thirst,
that can be fulfilled with love.
You're like a shooting star,
That meteors burst.
You weren't supposed to mean this much to me,
and I wasn't supposed to fall in love.
But, I don't wanna let go of this feeling now,
as it's a blessing from Above.
It wasn't with knives you tore my heart,
but with words.
And only if I could tell you,
how much that hurts.
But you're going to a distant land,
beyond my reach.
for now, I'm done with life,
and with everything it had to teach.

Baby Please
By Asianae Aikey
I feel what I feel
I say what I want
I do as I please
But now I’m here begging baby please
I like you can’t you see
You say I love someone else
But I’m here with you aren’t I
I care about you so much more
Than you could ever possibly know
You stole my heart
And I just can’t seem to let you go
I know I leave at some point but you said you might leave soon
I didn’t want to hurt you
But in the end you hurt me
Baby please can’t you see
This is killing me
Just one more chance that’s all I’m asking for
Come on can’t you see how much I care
I can’t just go back to being your friend
Not after this
Not after you tore my heart apart
I normally don’t do **** like this
But I just have to try
Come on I know you ain’t dumb
You’re actually really smart
You have to know that you’re tearing my heart apart
Just one more chance that’s all I ask
I’m not into anyone else
I’m into you and only you
I feel what I feel
I say what I want
I do as I please
But now I’m here on my knees begging you baby please
I just realized how stupid this poem was
The sobbing wont subside
Tears streaming down my face
You say its because you're
young
Because i'm in a different place
Always telling me you love me
Secret whispers I believe
Telling me all about our future
Our happy little family
I know i'm far away
Oh how much I regret
You told me you cheated
I pray I soon forget
The pain is to strong
I feel so alone
The only person I truly trusted
Found a new home
I want to give you another
chance
To tell me you will stay true
But you tell me you will do it
again
Because she is now close to
you
The sobbing gets louder
As I fall apart
Laying here wondering
Why I gave you my heart
I love you much
I wish you could see
But you are convinced
You never made me happy
Just the thought of you
Lit up my day
Now I lay her wondering
If you should stay
My entire future was with you
Promises written in your eyes
Now I look towards the same
way
All I can read are lies
Did you ever truly love me
Or was this all just a game
You tore my heart to pieces
again
We will never be the same
I give you one last chance
To say you will be with me
You slowly deny and me
My tears flow freely
Darkness enfolds me as I go to sleep,
My escape from the obnoxious you!
As I drift off to sleep forever;
I think of what has been;
What could have been?
Could I have done it any different?
I’ve tried and tried till my heart just died.
It was laid to rest with the rest of my life!
Gone from you, gone out of your life!
There will no tear be shed over the gone me;
I suppose your heart will be filled with glee!
I really truly loved you!
But got nothing in return;
A cold shoulder, a stare and a glare…
You left my soul feeling just bare!
You tore my heart in a million pieces;
Leaving me lonely, desolate and lost!
But me, I am now going to sleep;
I am leaving you behind!
I have found peace in my heart;
Said my goodbyes and I’m drifting off to sleep.
Sleep enfold me, please just set me free
Why are we parted ?
without saying farewell
moved on and..
left each other..
tears ,sighs everywhere ..
half-broken hearted I'm
half-broken hearted you..may be ..
my days are passing by as quite as your lips
weary nights are all alone..
like a moon lives alone among throbbing stars..
you looked into my soul and one day you promised
that we'll be never apart ..
there was a spell -bound between you and me
unheard ..unspoken
we had to move on together ..forever
but Alas !! we broke all promises
you tore my heart ..
and set it on fire .
why are we parted now?
were we just decepting each-other ?
were our hearts lying my dear ?
Now I ask my heart ..
can I forget the moments ?
we shared together
spent together
laughed together ..
cried together ..
And I find my heart silent
it's just drowning in sorrow day by day
Ask your heart my dear ..
what it whispers to you ?
can you forget all those moments ?
we shared together ..
spent together ..
Can you forget my dear ?
can you forget "ME "my dear ?
just ask your heart !!
just ask your heart !!!
I love you so much my forever love
There is no fancy way to say it
Over the years we grew apart
Because of our differences and our choices
But never for a minute did that love depart
What God placed in the heart is cemented
And our man-made efforts cannot erase it
We have tried many other roads to walk
Searching for that elusive something
All that happened was dross
So we come right back to the start
I thought we did finally make it
That we would be where we should have been
But then you hurt me with lies
You tore my heart apart
And I hated you for this
I lashed out to hurt you as much as you did me
The feelings of hate and spite was ugly
I look back and wish I had done things differently
That I had given you time to make amends
But in my haste to give myself justice
I forgot how deep my love for you is
But not even that hate can take this love away
Because I love you truly from deep within my heart
My dearest dearest only true love
Whispers in the dark
Thoughts of you.
a meeting at the park,
A memory, a flash
Surrounded by pin-drop silence.
The saddest thing in the world,
I have lost all meanings of life.
My mind overflows with memories
Of those few green and fair days.
How do I mend my broken heart ?
I hate this idea of my heart
That you are the one thing,
Whom I want the most but can't have.
You tore my heart into two,
One part has lost all and
The other still thinking for you.
I hate this feeling of pain,
I'm not gonna let you say.....
Why can't I hate you,
Like I hate myself?
Why can't I break you?
It didn't even make you flinch,
When you tore my heart into pieces,
Like it was nothing.
Why don't I deserve your love?
Am I not worthy?
How can you sleep at night,
Knowing I am somewhere, lying alone,
Shaking from withdrawals?
I am an addict and you have cut me off...
Every day it gets progressively worse
You always find a new way to make me hurt
My anger fills my mind and leaves my pores
All I can do is release it on a door
My heart is cold and fingers are aching
You can see and feel my heart breaking
Just love me the way I love you
You and I both know that you do
But you are scared and you are blind
Realization is what you must find
You lie to me as if I don't matter
Every lie you tell just makes me shatter
This time you tore my heart
And you threw it to the floor
If you hate me so much
Then I will be there no more...
