Broken hearted
Poetry Contest Description
Love pain emotions memories
This is my first one I'm also doing this because I want to feel someone else's emotions,
I want to see who can write the deepest love poem about losing the one you love, it's not about death but losing your love from betrayal and how you are still wanting for that person to keep you in their heart,
now it can be as long or as short as you want but I want to see deep emotions, I think I might see some amazing work here over the next week, good luck may the best poem win.
Rules
1 needs to have a title
2 it must be about the love and how he or she broke your heart
3 it doesn't need to be a true story but extra points if it is

Discard the identity of you and me
We locked together like a conspiracy
A blend of self-indulgent beauty and pain
The crippling kiss I had to abstain
Recollecting sex and deep kisses
Dangerous scenarios and near misses
Escaping to our duvet and sheets
Hide away from the cruel streets
You whispered secrets maybe true
This life left us so black and blue
Under sheets we press our lips
Silently share the eclipse
We shared all the changing seasons
Months diluted fragmented reasons
I never pictured me a fool
And cast you as so fucking cruel
You were more in love with danger
Dismissed me like a foolish stranger
You left me with this gift of pain
It’s like a drug that I can’t abstain
I saw beauty in my own perceptions
You focussed on alleged imperfections
The jigsaw piece in my heart
Lost the piece now we depart
Discard the identity of you and me
We locked together like a conspiracy
A blend of self-indulgent beauty and pain
The crippling kiss I had to abstain
Recollecting sex and deep kisses
Dangerous scenarios and near misses
Escaping to our duvet and sheets
Hide away from the cruel streets
You whispered secrets maybe true
This life left us so black and blue
Under sheets we press our lips
Silently share the eclipse
We shared all the changing seasons
Months diluted fragmented reasons
I never pictured me a fool
And cast you as so fucking cruel
You were more in love with danger
Dismissed me like a foolish stranger
You left me with this gift of pain
It’s like a drug that I can’t abstain
I saw beauty in my own perceptions
You focussed on alleged imperfections
The jigsaw piece in my heart
Lost the piece now we depart

emb[roid]ered bruises ~ v[y]l
they hang
from my ribs
caught in
the fractures
like
plated gold,
holding
my broken pieces
together
and i cradle them
[in turn]
between
my
chalk outline
hips,
nailed
to the floor
by whimpers
while the other
skins
his knuckles
on my teeth
but i can
forgive
them anything
when i
am
folded &
tucked,
pressed
amid
their chests,
warm
and i can
look past
anything
when
they fit
around
my
slender curves,
sleep
against
my bruises
my wolves,
who
break me
apart,
tear me
to shreds...
... i can
bear it all
if
one
could
just
love
me...

Gone For Good
You want to know how I've been
How I managed through the storm
Be ready to feel my deepest pain
As I narrate to you in poetry form
How that Goddess blessed my world
With a love so true,divine
How she made a warm and tender soul
From a cold solitary mind
It all started by the beach
I'd gone to see the waves of the sea
To remind myself of how violent and turbulent
This pathetic life of mine have been
As I watched on before me appeared
The sweetest thing I've ever seen
She took me on a journey in her conversation
To a beautiful place I've never been
Thus we became thick as thieves
She my girl and I her man
We'd share promising and rosy dreams
Expressing our love in the best ways we can
Alas a third party soon appeared
Changes occurred and rumours flew
I tried to curtail and keep my jealousy in check
Hoping what I was hearing wasn't true
But I was seeing the gifts coming in
The dates,the visits and the telephone calls
Gradually the changes in her became so glaring
And pretence couldn't help me no more
Day and night we argued and fought
My greatest fear was about getting real
I dropped my pride and pleaded with her
To remember how far we've come on my knees
But her heart was already somewhere else
Nothing I did could save what we shared
Now I had to come to terms
With all the emotional horrors I feared
Eventually one night she left with him
All I could do was to drink and weep
Pondering where to go from here
And the priceless jewel I couldn't keep
Sometimes I pray for her eventual return
Looking to heaven as I pray to the Lord
Days turned to weeks and weeks to months
My expectant heart was blessed with no reward
Years later I accepted my fate
And snapped out of that depressed mood
Now whenever they ask of the girl I once loved
I tell them "she's gone for good"
You want to know how I've been
How I managed through the storm
Be ready to feel my deepest pain
As I narrate to you in poetry form
How that Goddess blessed my world
With a love so true,divine
How she made a warm and tender soul
From a cold solitary mind
It all started by the beach
I'd gone to see the waves of the sea
To remind myself of how violent and turbulent
This pathetic life of mine have been

Murder Me Love

I was the choice that you had to take
An executive decision you had to make
The one you truly wanted, was owned by another
And you had morals, you wouldn't contradict.
You said you loved me at the first
Took my heart and branded it yours
Gave me a new name, a new place and two children to raise
So why do I feel like the mistress
Instead of the wife you took home?
You look at me with familiarity
With bored contentment devoid of empathy
I feel the chill of your embrace and the obligation in your fuck
Digging a void into my heart.
It pains me to know what I know
When your silences echo louder
Than the lies I hear day by day
Like a candle short of wick, my light is dimming fast
An accident would be better
I rather welcome a quick kill
Than this slow agonizing poison
That eats at me every day
Razor sharp blades
Asphalt ten floors below
A rope dangling from the vaulted ceiling of this tomb
All three are calling my name
But the loudest shout is from the open door
Telling me...
"Walk out!"
Which way to go?
Hesitating now...

Not Fit for Consumption
Manipulated
I'm your marionette
Consumed by your thirst for control
Though I've cut the strings
Loose joints impede my escape
Unsupported
Learning to stand on my own
The master beckons
Even behind closed eyes
Invading the deepest reaches of subconscious
Unsettled
Even under cover of darkness
I am not safe and cannot hide
Cannot run with tangled mess of severed strings
Constricted like a python's prey
Dejected
Reluctantly succumb to serpent's grasp
Accepting my forthcoming fate
To be squeezed and swallowed whole
Bones crack and breath escapes
Release
Left to rot where I lay
Undigested, just a mess of flesh
I was killed for pleasure
The master slithers off to find her new toy
I'm your marionette
Consumed by your thirst for control
Though I've cut the strings
Loose joints impede my escape
Unsupported
Learning to stand on my own
The master beckons
Even behind closed eyes
Invading the deepest reaches of subconscious
Unsettled
Even under cover of darkness
I am not safe and cannot hide
Cannot run with tangled mess of severed strings
Constricted like a python's prey
Dejected
Reluctantly succumb to serpent's grasp
Accepting my forthcoming fate
To be squeezed and swallowed whole
Bones crack and breath escapes
Release
Left to rot where I lay
Undigested, just a mess of flesh
I was killed for pleasure
The master slithers off to find her new toy

Clarity
My eyes red and yours dead,
Sorry to be so blunt but I look at my bed,
And think to myself,
How empty,
How belligerent,
Your soul etched into the creases of its floral carvings,
Every night I water them,
Every morning my eyes red.

Heartbreak Effect
Dear heart, do not fall for him
Because he is going to crush your
Spirit. Your eyes filled to the brim
With tears, but that was before
You got to know him. I am
Now falling into the hole and mess
This has become. The truth will slam
Hard and you should never stress
Over someone who was never
Completely yours to begin with.
I should have just pulled the lever
And said no, but he was not a myth
Anymore. He was becoming a part
Of my reality and world. There is no
Way to walk away without my heart
Breaking. I wish he would go
Away, but then that would only deal
With more pain and heartbreak.
I still have to wait for him to kneel
Right before me to take and make
That promise of being in this
Together forever. Some part of
Me will always long and miss
Having you right here. I fell in love.

Outside The Light
You tore out the air
which supplied my heart
then you left me there
to slowly fall apart ,
saturday lies
even week nights
you'd look in my eyes
outside the light
Remembering , wandering
the back streets of our years
my everything , squandering
a reduction to tears .
You turned to cast
like a hollow thing
I burned to ash
in a molten ring
the kids did ask
for you to bring
yourself back home
to hope we'd cling .
Off the wall
so desperately
I did so fall ,
descent , gravity
down I went painfully
to cracked cement , a cavity
you walked , hell bent
away from me
how could you dent
our family
these babies were sent
from the heavens to me
how could you have spent
what comes for free .

Maybe a broken heart hurts for a reason.
Your heart may function like your stomach.
You see a custard pie at the deli, it looks so good, and you order a slice. It tastes divine. Now you’re so in love with that custard pie and can't wait to experience it again.
Going home, 'with pie on your mind,' you decide to take a blissful nap.
Suddenly you awake! You’re in terrible pain. It’s like there's a rat inside you trying to chew its way out. Standing up, you’re overwhelmed by the nausea. You run to the toilet and vomit so hard, not only do you puke the custard pie out, but nearly expel your intestines as well. Exhausted, you kneel before the porcelain altar and promise God, no matter how tempting, you'll never eat another slice of pie from that deli again.
I think our hearts may function like our stomachs. Eating something that’s not good for you, your stomach reacts painfully and makes you expel the tainted dish. Your heart may hurt for the same reason, so you reject tainted love before it does anymore damage. And like the deli where you bought that bad custard pie, you learn never to visit that same lover again.
When your heart hurts, listen. It may be trying to tell you something.
