Hollowed Heart

by Robert   Dec 6, 2013


My life isn't perfect, and it's definitely not the best
I don't seem to assert myself, and there is a pain within my chest
I lost someone I loved so much, and an emptiness fills my heart
Larger and larger it seems to grow I wish it had never start

Weighted down by regrets, and words I hadn't said
To take back that little time we shared, so much I have bled
Still I hunger for that little bit of affection, and it seems to forever grow
It doesn't seem to feel any better for this time moves so slow

I seem to feel more tired then before, and more lazy I become
I look for someone to rescue me to tell me my love isn't done
It just hurts so bad I scream out loud, but it whispers through my teeth
Loneliness has taken me, so captive I have become while looking for someone to keep

    I like this poem because you hold the consistency of sadness. It sucks when you lose a loved one. It feels like your whole world crashes down. I like the way yoiu worded this too. Each line holds a hint of sadness growing more sad with the story. I can see this as a poem based on reality as well. Overall though I saw no flaws at all. You did a great job

    Robert I understand the message and emotions you are feeling and putting forth with these words. It is lacking that punch to the gut that is hovering right beneath the surface of each word. With just a few changes, taking out some and's, I, this poem would grab the reader, shake them and they would have no doubt of how you feel, because they would feel that way to.

    Loneliness swallows a person inside out and to get out of its grip is hard..I know and have been through it.

    Loosing the only love, the hand that helped you through is like loosing one of your limbs. Behind each stanza there is not only pain but a touch of anger too. I can relate to this and pray that all will work out for you..take care.
