A Broken Heart Poem by Tina Mack

Lying here alone on my bed,
Thoughts of you running through my head.
Wondering why we can’t be together,
Wondering if this love will last forever.
Tears of pain bursting through my eyes,
While I sit here,
And you’re out with the guys.
I feel so sad, yet so mad,
Not at you but at what we could’ve had.
The tears want to erupt so bad.
I’ve never cared for someone so much,
I want your kiss, your warm embrace and soothing touch.
If only you were here by my side,
To your commands would I abide.
Only cause I feel this way,
Would I have listened to the things you say?
The more I think the more I want to scream out and yell,
Thinking if you left me, it would be living hell.
You say you don’t want to lose me,
But am I all you want me to be?
Am I the one you’d call your own?
These are things you tell me on the phone.
But how do you really feel?
I can’t help to ask myself this question.
When you’re at work and I’m at home.
I know I expect too much,
But did you have to take my heart and go crunch?
I wish the feeling had been mutual,
But since not I understand.
My life has always been this way.
You left and now I have a broken heart.
You did it, you took it and broke it apart.
I don’t want to lose what I haven’t got,
I loved you, at least that is what I thought.
What I felt was more than a four letter word,
You just didn’t hear what I heard.
L was for love now it’s for lost,
O was for openness and now its outrage
V was for vowing now its for vanishing,
E was for everlasting but now its for escaped.
This is what I felt and now its for what I feel,
If you had told me that you felt the same,
Maybe this heartbreak wouldn’t be your game.
One day in life you’ll wonder why and how,
You’ll realize the day you take your final vow.
In your inner soul, deep inside you’ll find this to be true,
If you can truthfully say I love you.
