Picture by Josephine Wall

* * * *

You dismantled my heart
And kept the sun from my view
Now when you look inside my soul
You are able to see straight through

I'm just a shadow of myself
Since you took your love away
I was so stupid to have thought
That with me you'd want to stay

You have hurt so many others
And left a trail of misery
Many hearts have been broken
The last one belonged to me

But I have faith in who I am
'tho deep inside there lays a hole
You managed to bruise my spirit
But were unable to crush my soul

* * * *

I should point out that this
was not written from personal
experience, purely fiction.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

Suetang - an artist as you could only write of so many different emotions without being in them...

Oooh, I feel this.
Enjoyed the picture, as well.

Exceptional write Sue. Welcome back, it is nice to read you again.
You conveyed the emotions of this piece so well. Happy to hear it is fictional, for the pain is all too real. Hugs, TD

Hi Sue ~~ Such powerful emotions in this poem. I'm sure on some level many can relate to this kind of hurt.

Huggles ~~ Marti
