Brokenhearted Poetry by anonymousey: 4:47pm On May 22, 2015 |
I cannot help That my heart Beats a little faster When I see you I would still it If I could But it seems to say The things I fear to My heart is not logical It does not want to know That we probably Can not be together My heart knows only That whether I admit it or not That it loves you And has loved you alone A sad truth That I hope will pass soon As all I have to show for it Is a broken heart and poetry. 1 Like |

Brown eyes I slipped into them As they called to me Silently singing A lullaby that never ends Like quicksand I can't get out But sink deeper still The color like chocolate And just as thick as they hold on to me Those brown eyes that I looked into Once And forever lost my heart to you. 1 Like |

Dreams of your return In the dark All the light there is Is from my eyes Seeking you out Burning out holes in the sockets As they remember The experience of seeing you again After so long a time A fevered homecoming As my heart And my arms Welcome you again Holding on so tightly Too afraid to lose you again I wake up sweating It was a dream One that will haunt me a long time. |

Every time I remember A spear through my heart Jagged-edged Is what I feel Every time Every time I remember The things that were The things that are The things that should be I was made to love you Or so I believed Today’s reality Begs to differ The dreams of yesteryears That refuse to be forgotten Keep flooding back Day after day And every time they do Every time I remember I die a little more And cannot be comforted. |

That was yesterday I remember it But it was yesterday It was yesterday That I loved you That I spent every waking hour Thinking about you It was yesterday That my mind obsessed over you Refusing to let go Of its worship of you Despite the pain you rewarded me with That was yesterday Today is another day Presenting limitless opportunities to live and love |

Of love, life and lies Torment me Like only you can Bring me I pray you As much pain as you can For I would rather Feel pain Than the nothingness I feel Wherever Venus Deems fit to appear Whether in furs or not Just as long as she appears The flashes of you Quick stabs to my heart An assailant I see too late To defend myself against They called it love I believed them They did not tell me That Cupid’s arrow would cause me pain If I had known Would I have loved still If someone had told me Would I have believed I believed What the poets and playwrights told me Of the beast they called love Which they urged us to worship Little did I know That they were her priests Drawing men to her temple To be robbed and slaughtered just like they were These corpses of men that refused to die Spun us tales of love Omitting the episodes of pain We would all come to know too well Deceivers they were As guilty as the one they worshipped Alas it is too late To undo the works of their hands I have lived I have loved I have been robbed I have been slaughtered All that remains Is this voice and this hollow tale Screaming of the injustices Of love,life and lies. |

Handwriting on the wall You have been weighed And been found wanting Your offerings have been deemed To be not sufficient for these goddess Worshiped far and near She has become a little more selective And so you would do better Not to bother at all Woman For that is her name At least so it was When I first heard of her She has assumed since then Many names and many guises Some unworthy of her Some unprintable Like many worshippers before me I offered and offered Like many before me My offerings suffered the fate of filth Sometimes she is just a little merciful She does not speak but writes And seeing the handwriting on the wall The supplicant knows his fate As I have More times than I would like Found wanting I renounce The worship of such a deity as this In my anger and hunger My heart turns away from her Who has caused me unimaginable pain Like many before me. |

Forever Forever Is taking forever To find Everything reminds me of you Who I would forget If I could That face that launched A thousand ships My Helen of Troy My ships have set sail And I am now adrift Spinning in the storm that you are And yet you are Absent from it all While I spin without end Spinning up webs Lost in you My eyes closed I smell rain I smell you Though my arms are empty It must be From the last time Or my last dream of you Invading my days and my nights Leading me on A sheep to the slaughter Slaughtered Pieces of me scattered abroad I stand No flesh, no bones Only a soul longing For forever, for you. |

You who my eyes do not know Someday soon I will find myself In your arms again Be it in life or in death Time will pass Seasons will change But I will desire nowhere else But the home of your arms I will know The charms of none other I will seek No one else but you Whom my heart knows Though my eyes do not You who has plagued my dreams And every waking hour I will find you again And it will be As it has forever been If only in my heart My heart has known you My days have sought you My dreams are empty without you Who my eyes do not know And will not Till the day that time will cease And I come to life Never to die again.

You stole tomorrow What did you do Do you know What you have Turned me into You stilled my heart You silenced my soul You took away from me Love and life You left a shell behind A dream unfulfilled A heart void Of love and life You stole poetry From my heart And music From my steps From a child You stole treasure From one unarmed You stole life From me You stole tomorrow The tomorrow of my dreams Which had you in it.

Is this love, or should it go by another name Is this love Or should it Go by another name That singular evil That brings tears to the eyes of grown men And anguish to the souls of noble women Is this crime not a stain A terminal illness to be endured Till our last breath I have heard Of some being happy While in its chains I considered myself One of such At a time long gone Its happiness is like unto A man at a banquet With a plate of choice meal With delight he takes a spoon And finds his mouth filled with gravel Is this what is called happiness It was a dream Sold in the shacks At circuses by caravaning gypsies The songs and folk tales Are laden with it And the pages of history as well The poems are the worst Every ignoramus considering himself A poet of stature Just until There is a death in the family Another victim of the propaganda Mock me From your high horse And you will be justified Say that my words Are the words of a man struck By the same disease he claims to cure I do not dare To make such claims It would be futile How can one When the symptoms Are so clear before the eyes But it is a wonder Is it not Dear friend That after so many centuries We find no certain cure For this particular malady And in the archives of several minds We can find Trunks full of painful memories Promises that were never kept Wishes that refused to come true Destinies that were never fulfilled Is this love Or should it go by another name Alas, I find no other name that suits it. 1 Like |

Not me It hits me As I walk into the room again: Your scent And the memories flood back As does the pain As I crawl Into my bed Alone You are Somewhere else With someone else Not me And tonight You will be Loving someone else Not me. For more www.thetravelerpoems. |

NOT ABOUT ME It eats you up But you cannot say Just how much you wish That this swan song Could be sung another way Swing my way And stay with me So that it's my eyes you look into My arms that hold you And my body you caress What we see instead Is that I am the confessor I hear the tale But it is not about me At least not this time. www.thetravelerpoems. 1 Like |

To my child I would empty you Of all the people And all the things they left behind And I would fill you With fragments of me Fragments of my mind My voice Caring Prodding My words Strengthening Cheering All the while reminding you Of who you are And who you can be I would fill your childhood With the purest of love As only I know how to My dear child This is for you My poetry. www.thetravelerpoems. 1 Like |

Like a dog's whistle Nobody hears The cry of my heart Nobody sees The signs Like a dog's whistle The ordinary ear Does not hear It was not meant for them The cry of desperation Falls on ears deaf From hearing only Their own cries and desires Though I be wailing Though I lie on the floor Mourning the death of my soul Nobody hears All they see Are the things I can be To them and for them And not the soul in pain All they see All they hear As they salivate Is another prey To quench their ambitions To fulfil their quest To help them become What they long to be And so I stand A tool in tears Mourning and wailing Though nobody hears. www.thetravelerpoems. |
