Hidden Heartache (etheree/tanka)

by Baby Rainbow   Feb 25, 2013


Tears
falling
gently down
my rosy cheeks
towards quivering
lips. Resisting the urge
to release my emotions
and let you witness the damage
done to my fragile heart when you left,
walking away without once looking back.

My heart whispering
in hope of another chance
to receive your love.
But I will not allow you
to know what you meant to me.

    This is a very unique poem saffie. My heart goes out toyou for eeverything you have been through. The way you used the double side here. You show so much sadness in the etheree here. The imagery is soft and you hurt. You give out a heart wrenching almost plea or cry to this person who hurt you. You never want to show weakness at all but sometimes you want to let people know how much you are heart broken to get help or get help to move on. When people walk away out of your life it's tough I know. But you are stronger than you know. Anyway you show in my mind that you loved this person greatly and now it seems or you feel like you lost it all. I feel like you have loved this person for a very long time. So I can understand your sadness. Again in the tanka I like how you had hope.

    You have a little bit of hope that is person will return to your life. I like the heart whispering part. The heart again is fragile and soft like a whisper so I loved that connection. All the heart wants is love I agree with you. But as I always say sometimes it is better to move on and that way you can heal. And also again you never want to show weakness especially to the one who hurt you. It is obvious that you care so much for people andhere you show how much this pperson is bad. But you also show you care. So this person can't be all bad at all. But anyway this is a great poem here as it shows both sides to what love can be.
