You've broke more hearts than you could know Ever since you let me go Well, if I'm frank, I must speak true I guess I broke the hearts, not you For when I think I've found a love A heart that fits like hand in glove I go and try it on for size But then one day I realize That never will he make me feel A love as strong as ours was real And then I gently break his heart Tell him that I must depart The last sad heart that I did break Well, that one really took the cake I'd vowed to him, I'd pledged my troth A broken heart's the thanks he got I pray one day I'll find true love The Gods will shine down from above I'll know it's there upon my door When I don't mourn you any more If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Tracey~ Exceptionally well expressed! I relate so much, no matter who I date, they always are in the shadows of "him." I'm keeping this one~ Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

Tracey You have heard that old expression, "I'm going to wash that man right out of my hair", well you can wash him out of your heart too but it takes alot longer. Your 'Mr. Wonderful' will come along and help you forget him. Really enjoyed your words and thank you for sharing. |

Tracey This was such a heartfelt piece of writing that was so wonderfully written. I'm sure you're kind soul will find the love you deserve, he's just having trouble finding you. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Melissa-Thank you. You obviously know from where I write Sandra-so glad you enjoyed it Arthur-we don't try to be heartbreakers. It's just that sometimes one of you wonderful men takes hold of our hearts and we find it difficult to get it back Sunshinemist-glad you enjoyed it Ariana-I've been trying to wash him out of my heart for a long time. I hope you're right about Mr Wonderful coming along to make me forget him. Sven-thank you. I will continue to dream SmartChic-thank you. Glad you liked it JamesMichael-I wish no one could relate to this. Sadly, too many of us do Suetang-thank you for the kind words. I like the way you think-someone out there is having a hard time finding me Daniel-thank you. I like the way you think too Kit-so glad you enjoyed the poem LoneWolf-thank you. I'm sure my day will come If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Tracey~ Aww sweet poet...what an honest expression of your heart. The rhyme and flow were perfect and the content...well it really melts your heart. Don't give up on true love! It'll hit you when you least expect it. Hugs, ~Krista  Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

Duncan -yes, my poetry is very real-it's the only way I know how to write and is often a good catharsis. By the way resumes cheerfully accepted here Kitten-thank you for those lovely words. And no, I'll never give up on true love. I am an eternal optimist If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Ah, Tracey, boy can I relate to this one. Many hearts get broken, including one's own, in the quest for true love. It's inevitable. This is a great write! The brave may die...but the cautious never live... |
