As I was crossing the street
I saw you.

Saw you
Put your hand in hers
Put your lips
Close to her ear
Smooth her hair down.

I cried out
My heart broke
No-one heard me
No-one saw the pieces shatter.

You didn't notice
She didn't notice
You just went on strolling.

I stood there
Near the middle of the road
I got knocked over
My heart was truly broken.

Now you don't have to worry
About me
Anymore.

You captured this emotion very well in this piece about just how damaging a broken heart can be to every ounce of your being. But don't worry...this pain will ease with time and your knowledge and strengths growing with this experience.

Great poem! I know the feeling there.

Follow the path that nature gives.

Yes. That hurts so bad, a terrible thing, and expressed so well. I especially like the line "I got knocked down", it says so much.

There is nothing more painful than the realization that it is truly over. That all hope is finally gone.

Very well said... I could feel the emotion, it's like you want him to pick up the pieces as you lay there shattered (yet you just want to lay there feeling sorry for yourself because you know he doesn't care), but no one can see what just happened, no one can truly feel that moment, except you.

I am going through a similar situation, yet different. You expressed it so much better than I though.(See Pain is Stronger than Love)
