Hearts Poem by Sherry Painter

Hearts,
Beaten and battered,
Thrown away and taken for granted,
We give our hearts,
To those we love,
And then they go,
And wreck us.

You wrecked me,
To the point of no return,
I can barley recognize my own self,
Who I once was.
I am in constant pain,
That I know no better,
Than the pain,
That radiates throughout the chambers of my heart,
And expands beyond.

I showed you my true self,
I showed you my heart,
Till I was stripped down to my wires,
And you then, abused my trust,
And wrecked me,
To the point of no return…
