A Broken Heart Lives On

by Rachel RTVW   Nov 7, 2007


A broken heart lives on
Empty are the days
Cold abyss, a lonely soul
On bended knee she prays

A broken heart lives on
Weathered from the past
Haunted by the memories
Of a love she thought would last

A broken heart lives on
Spoken for but she's alone
Silently in sorrow
She longs her love back home

A broken heart lives on
He says goodbye again
In her dreams they'll reunite
They'll both be happy then.....

    The wings of our memories never fail to bring us to that place where our hearts lay bouyed. I liked this piece and think you have a wonderful poets pen with emotions that spill upon the page like the spots of sunshine that warm the forest floor where they provide a birth place for poems like yours. May you be true to your emotions, peace.

    This was a good piece, but again I thought that the beginning was the strongest, and that the piece lost its power as it went on, which is actually rather common. I loved the first stanza, it was wonderful, perfect. I also really liked the second stanza.

    ^I liked the repetition in this poem. One of my favourite quotes is "Reality is wrong, dreams are for real" and when I read this it reminded me of it. Love lives on eternally in our dreams. A beautiful poem.

    Take Care.
