The feeling of your heart breaking
Slow but intense as if your body is trying to teach you a lesson
As if its saying, “Don’t let this happen again! Put up walls, piece this shattered heart back together”
Is it that easy? Can I just buy a bottle of Elmer's glue?
“Of course not”, society says
“This is a part of life, of everyones life”
What is, giving yourself to those who will take until there is nothing left to offer
Then leaving you for someone “bigger and better”?
Leaving you with nothing to your name
With nothing to offer the one who is truly meant for you?
And we wonder why there is divorce
The driving force of lust, dissatisfaction, anger and dishonesty get the better of us
Controlling us like we’re under a spell
But what if we lived in a patient world?
A world where everyone waited
Less tears, less hearts broken, less mistakes made
But without lies there would be no trust
And with no lust, no love
As if at an equilibrium, constantly balancing one another
Showing us that with good is evil and evil, good
This is all so prevalent in our world today
Just take a look and see for yourself
Mmhmm, mmhmm, this is a good one. Definitely a slightly more realistic take on what's up in society. People change, stuff changes, and rushing into things breaks them. Good poetry.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rowen, Good poetry! This is really deep Emily. You took it from a whole different perspective then I did, and I love it. Instead of seeing it, like a "Happily Ever After" situation, you took it from the complete opposite. "As if at an equilibrium, constantly balancing one another. Showing us that with good is evil and evil, good." This is such a good line, there is so much meaning behind it and it worked beautifully with the rest of the poem. Absolutely A Great Blog Emily!
