Shattered Heart's Pain Poem by Beatrice Preti

I knew Love, but she broke my heart
Left me standing alone in the dark
She had her glory, but now it's my turn
To repeat the lessons she forced me to learn
You can sit there, pretend you don't know
The heartaches you caused me, the desperate lows
But I have you here, and you'll know the pain
Of a heart that's so broken the mind goes insane
There's no physical harm that could ever relate
To a love that's been ousted by anger and hate
I thought that you loved me, thought you were the one
But you cast me off, you said we were done
But I didn't sacrifice my whole life in vain
You told me you loved me, now you'll know my pain
The white snow outside is speckled with blood
That poured from my heart when you fell out of love
But the scars on my heart still bleed when I think
Of how I once loved you, and I won't rethink
The best way to show you how you've damaged me
And, Love, you don't know, but I'll make you see
Your blood can join mine, together, we'll rule
A world of lost lovers, so desolate and cruel
And we both will know a broken heart's pain
Yours more literal than mine, but it's really the same
So, without more delay, let's start this game
Welcome, my love, to a shattered heart's pain
