A Tear Falls Forever In A Shattered Heart

by Kait   Oct 20, 2008


A glisten is the sharpness of my deep brown eyes.
A puddle wanting so badly to burst.
Simply, I blink to close my bloodshot eyes to soothe the burn.
Slowly, almost haultingly, one black tear rolls down my face.
With one drop, comes a flood.
Mascara smeared and tears flowing down my face,
I try to run and hide from what I am hiding within myself.
My battered soul and a broken heart, something that won\\\'t go away.

I want to fight off all the stares and all the questions.
My look of \\\'nothing is wrong\\\' no longer seems real.
People break me down, piece by piece.
They sense something is wrong and it has come quite evident.
The circles under my eyes become darker.
I no longer smile when I see a familiar face.
Throughout my day, I merely exist in my broken world.
Longing for a cure of my shattered heart.

But, it\\\'s all the same; each and every single day.
My life has become routine, never a change in what happenes.
One thing that I know will remain, is the regret within my soul.
I have to live with my mistakes and live my life knowing I did wrong.
I blame myself for my own losses and for my own pain.
I do not listen to others telling me \\\'it\\\'snot your fault.\\\'
I meant what I said to you, I will never love again.
So, I stay with these tears forever falling inside of my shattered heart.

    Wow, this poem really is full of sadness. Pure emotions, feelings coming straight from the heart. As I was reading this poem I could feel your pain and your saddness and your emotions very well.. I could see them so clearly, because I can relate to having my heart broken.. as well.

    "One thing that I know will remain, is the regret within my soul.
    I have to live with my mistakes and live my life knowing I did wrong."
    `This is actually a very truthful statement you made here. Regrets will remain within you, yet.. you have to live with the mistakes you've made and you have to face the facts.

    One more thing to add, I loved the first stanza.. I had a vivid image in my mind as I read that, the mascara smearing down her face, and the dark circles that remain under her eyes..

    Pure sadness in this write, I can't tell you how easily I felt your emotions. :/ I hope youre gonna be okay. I'm always here if you need to talk. This poem was full of emotions, almost overflowing.. Word choice was fabulous.. great write.. flawless. 5/5.
