My Poetry

Definition of Heartbreak

The longing for the sort petals on his face

to brush over yours.

The burning in the pit in your stomach when you know he is ignoring you.

When you know you are the thorn in his paw, the blister in the side of his left toe, the splinter in his calloused heart that stops him from caring.

Being the noise that he has to hear but desperately wants to shut out

The pain that festers in the deep abyss of your soul when you realize he no longer loves you

When you love the unlovable and you become the undesirable all because you try

You try and believe that the four letter word itself was created for you to show him

Him whose body like bronze, sculpted like a Grecian piece of marble that you devalued and bared your own flesh so that he could feel powerful

But he loves

Or at least that's what he says when you are begging on your knees and singing praises unto him and the masterpiece he presents you

But you love him

With the strength in your heart that pushes you towards him even though he has already pushed you away into the past of forgotten memories

The rose bush that grows in your heart

Every evil thorn piercing the fragile

Crimson

Broken

Ragged thing you call a heart

Every breath you take without him

Puncturing you more and more until your heart is like swiss cheese

Holey and unwanted

But that's what heartbreak is

When you reach for the love that is nowhere to be found

When you try to walk only to end up crawling in agony

When you cry your heart out but no one hears

Or cares

Heartbreak is when you put yourself in my shoes

And you cross the desert that is love

When you put your heart in a bowl that says 'take some'

And everyone pokes and probes until it is rock hard and can no longer feel

The definition of heartbreak is me
