Broken Hearts & Lullabies

by Krista   Sep 29, 2009


Shattered, hanging by a string, my heart rests in two almost perfectly split pieces. It just doesn't feel right, so tears keep falling to release the pain you've put on me. Did you intend to do this, break my soul and sanity?

I'll just keep crying, even when the tears are gone and there's no reason.

I'll just keep singing, until my voice has gone, and there's just no reason.

Broken hearts and lullabies, wishes and shattered dreams. They fill my diminishing sleep. My scared attempts to tell you I'll be okay are twisted by fear, regretting to be released. Here comes another shock, shaking my pride.

I'll keep dreaming, even if my imagination is dry, and there's no reason.

I'll keep thinking of you, even if the memories are faded, and there's just no reason.

Who knew you could create such a high wall of security, then leave it crumbling at my feet? You kicked and screamed until all that was left of my heart was dust. Pictures of us burn, flames licking my numbed fingertips. I'm through waiting, but not done dreaming.

I'll keep singing lullabies, until my ambition is gone, and there's just no reason.

    "so
    tears keep falling to release the pain you've put on me."
    ^I never knew myself how big of a impact the word 'so' makes in poetry. It isnt something you want to use. It is not poetic and isnt something you should use. Just a heads up from what Ive been told from other poets on this site. So maybe just eliminate it & try to transition your thoughts with a better word or maybe just put a semi colon or something to separate them. Its up to you.

    "are twisted by fear,"
    `Maybe try 'twisted WITH fear"?? Something to consider possibly.

    I really really loved this write. You did such an amazing job. Despite what has happened, you definatly do not lose a speck of hope but continue with life the way it should be. You should never stop dreaming - if you are a dreamer, you should never give up hope - if you are an optimist, ect. ect. You got the message across really well here, that you will not give up and you will live on despite complicated ways.
    Well done Krista - thank you for letting me know you wrote this ; took some time to read it quick & glad I did. Keep it up hun.

    Break my soul and sanity?

    That's a good line. Good aliteration.

    Krista, such a sad sad poem. I think I know what this has to do with. At least you have it down in words now. But don't let it get to you too much. Shit happens. Huggles*

    5/5
