A poem for the broken hearted

By Sara del ToroPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

How can we be a foot from eachother but miles apart?

How can we tell each other we love the other when all we feel deep down is sorrow?

Why is it that I cry myself to sleep over your indifference while I make your coffee in the morning?

You are numb and cold and distant.

I am fragile, weak and in pain

I need strength to stand up and move away

Cause you're suckling all I have left.

We've talked and talked and talked and talked and talked more than a news anchor on the tele.

But what good is that when it's all the same?

Why can't I just leave?

That love I've declared for you still rings true.

But love isn't enough to push through

That phrase from the Bible,

I think of it often....

It's held me tight, like a bolt

You can't nudge out.

I want you to realize that I am right in front of you begging for you to love me back with the same intensity as I love you.

I can't hold on forever.

Don't let it be too late.

'Cause love isn't enough for me to wither in despair.

Mr.Koon, an old odd first grade teacher made me realize writing was one of the paths I could walk on... and so I find myself walking this peculiar path and awaiting where it shall lead me.
