Shattered Glass: A Broken Heart

[Dr. Strange]

The meaning of life, what a puzzling question. Every answer is different, there is no wrong answer there. I wish someone could help me understand why some of us have to be tormented by what we cannot have then have what we own or what sins we've committed thrown back in our faces, this life isn't worth that much. None know the pain I suffer, this hole in my heart will not heal. No way, no how. And I don't care who I hurt anymore, I'm done being abused this way. There's no reason for it...

 No one could possibly take her seriously, not after what she's done. All the lies she told, the secrets she hid to protect her loved ones. None of it mattered anymore, not today. Nione Skylar Burrell, her own name, no one else's. She smiled for the first time in seventeen years last night, now she's in a better place. She said to me to never give up, to keep trying for her. Nione was my child, my only daughter. She gave up on life, wasted away to nothing. She was all I had, now I'm nothing...

Wow... This made me cry! ^ that's pretty good!

I had almost forgotten how much your poems affect me... :'(
Great work, as always. A Quick Death, Lonely and Tossed About all really spoke to me.
Keep up the outstanding work!

[Somebody]

Nice short poem you have there. So sad really, but I guess the sorrow is what fuels you

[flames]

I'm with Tezz on this. Beautiful as always, but so very saddening...

[flames]

*Tears run down cheeks in RL*
That really spoke to me...the feelings expressed here upon having your love leave you are expressed wonderfully, with a lot of truth behind those words...

[Somebody]

Hmm, maybe you should compile them once your finished so we can read the entire thing at once. less confusing that way

[Dr. Strange]

Better now. Just had a momentary block of inspiration. I feel much better now. They are both finished and I will be posting more after they have been written. Another song from my older books will be up soon enough, if you can spare the time to read. I would much appreciate the opinions of anyone willing to give them, much thanks.

Livid
Strange dreams torture the soul of another
Away, strangled by horrors building up
Many left behind to fall apart, alone
Another falls into desperate love
Never to realize the lies being told
Together they fail to see, what's there
Haunted by things they cannot see
And a love to never be returned...

Soon to be denied of a right, she cries
Under the spell of false hope, lies
Evening descends as she falls silent...

Brought back to reality by a stab of fear
Under a bright, white light of innocence
Ripped away with the feeling of happiness
Rendered weak by another, crying harder now
Everything is dead to her, can't feel a thing
Lest she become what she was once more
Like that fragile little girl she used to be....



A concept poem, spelling out my full name and representing my history. Enjoy. Took a heckuva while to decide on.

Over The Years (More & More)
More and more often I feel the blade dig deeper,
Into my heart, the blood falling heavily down my face
The form of tears taking in, losing myself in the dark...

The life I once knew no longer exists, it has faded long ago
Fallen into the barren crater of my memories to waste away
Gone and buried under years of fear and pain I cannot fade...

Like my father before me, I have lost myself in my temper
Ready to fly off the handle at anyone, especially those I loved
Now I fear I am going insane with this hunger, unfulfilled as always...

Over the years, this hatred has slashed through my heart,
Acidic blades scorching the inner layers protecting me
Crumbling away, there is nothing left to hold on to, nothing....

Very beautiful poems Broken. it saddens me to read them wondering how you are faring with these troubles times of yours. Each word more painful then the last.

You are a master at poetry I think. Sorry I hadn't read the prior one earlier for some reason the thread never showed as new

[flames]

 :th_PyongLlora: I'm really moved...I'll have to agree with Tezz and add that the poem spelling out your name was incredible, both in content and in how it managed to spell everything out without losing the flow.

[Somebody]

Your poetry is very good, very heartfelt. Makes me sad to read though

[flames]

As brilliant as ever, I have no critiscm to give you...Your poetry continues to strike chords in me.

[Somebody]

Another great bit there Broken. How you can pop so many great stuff out in such small amounts of time is amazing

[Dr. Strange]

xD Thanks.


I just begin with something and let it free. All of this is trapped inside, waiting to be let loose. The thread of my sanity is dying, drying up and vanishing in a place I cannot name. Free of the chains that held me I can see the sky open up and the sun pour in, kissing my face. My name is of little importance, I am a Nobody. No one cares about me and I allow it to be this way. This is who I want to be. Life has me on my knees, begging to be left alone.

[Somebody]

I wouldn't say nobody cares about you, that in itself is blind. Your a better person then you allow yourself to be.
