Poison Of An Aching Heart Poem by Sareeah Keelyn

How do you make a heart stop loving?
How do you kill a feeling?
Love is soft
like a whisper
It sneaks into
your memory
I love but
it isn't wanted
so I cradle my broken feelings
the glass shatters, over and over
slicing through my heart
and then I'm back at the start
the pain I suffer
has no effect
The love only grows stronger
a blinding light
that fills my heart with joy
throbbing to the beat of my pain
I love
therefore, I am less important
I try
to extinguish the flame
for my misery is his shame
but it burns brighter and hotter
burning my flesh
and the smell fills the air
acid for my lungs
leaving me alone
in the poison
of an aching heart
