Eternally Heartbroken

[John Barnett]

Unexpecting, I came home from another day
Unknowingly, I went about my normal way
But then when I entered the gates
I heard the words I knew I'd hate
She appeared to me in the form of evil
No longer an angel, but more of a devil
She spewed acid from the lips I once kissed
Instead of holding my hand, she held up her fist
She damned the sweet memories we made before
And stabbed me in the chest with a sharpened sword
Then she twisted it over and over again
She put me through Hell and then laughed with a grin
All those words were all just lies
And in the end I am the fool who dies
As my heart is broken and bleeding inside
I just wish I could run away and hide
But I can't and she's inside me eating me away
Just like a cancer destroying my life everyday
Her face haunts my mind and kills me internally
And my soul is now damned to heartache eternally

this was very very very good. I liked this a lot! Don't you jst hate heartache? But the beauty of life is, there is someone out there, and although it may take a while to get to them, once you do, there will be endless happiness...i always try to keep that in the back of my mind. If something goes wrong we just have to be strong...again great write

Yeah, I wrote this piece after having a "fight"(for lack of a better word), with my girlfriend last week. But we are now doing a ton better, so I guess love works itself out if it is real.

Well written and quite heartfelt. The physical shape of a poem reminds me of a Chess piece called a Rook.

Great visuals in this piece, especially the idea of the sword. Very expressive, especially towards the end, nicely done ^_^
