How many
How many
pieces?
How many
parts?
can you
smash open
my heart.
How many
times?
How many
ways?
can you
crack open
my soul.
Before
I break.
Before
I no longer
wish
to love.
Before
I no longer
care.
Thousands?
Millions?
of times?
I stopped
counting.
Like stars
scattered.
Like dust
sprinkled
beneath
your feet.
Stop
I beg you.
Stop
before
my love
stops to
beat.
Before
it turns to
hate.
Before
It is too
late.
Before you become
a shadow of the past.

Hello Sam
This is almost like reading through scars of the stars, we never know what it took to make them shine.
A fine write, blessings

Thank you… my poetry tends to rythem and rhyme … I don’t know how to free verse like many of the greats poets here on DU… I’ve been told my work is a little mechanical… maybe… probably due to my technical astronomical background… but I’m glad you liked it

I don't find it mechanical at all, I genuinely like how it ebbs and flows :) you should challenge your self to free write if your interested in it though, there no harm in playing with different ways of writing :p

This is a fine poem. Great flow, wonderful diction and so profound! I really like this one, Sam.

Stop it… stop.. stop your warm compliments before I really start to believe I’m good at this.

If I were a Cajun I would tell you to stop being coo-yon! But I'm just a wanna be Cajun beauty! Dang!

As poets we can’t but let them… unfortunately it is who we are. It’s written in our stars.
What ?!? This ?!? And I thought I was just blabbering

You give me too much credit Delight. I’m just inspired by the company of all those poets here in DU and those who paved the way in the past.

Raw and real. I enjoy your writing style. It is the type that most speaks to me. Nothing hidden. Nothing to be untangled. Just honest feeling and expression. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you… I’m really a very very simple person… like my poetry … very very simple

In a world full of complexities, simplicity seems to have the most allure.

That will forever be a question: how many times can a heart break?
I love the flow in this write - such a powerful last stanza, those last two lines are just smashing.
You nailed it 💕

If you want to stop getting your heart broken all you can do is to stop feetling at all.
Don't even try that or you will never be able to write again.
Trust those who support you and tell you that you are better than you believe yourself to be.
You are a very good writer and a fantastic person even if those who try to break your heart cannot see it so.
