This is a poem about anguish.........questions I'm sure every person on the face of the earth has asked themselves a few times before. But for me,............it seems to be an unending agony.


The Throw Away Heart


How many times must one be rejected,
Before we are considered a reject?

How many times must a heart be broken,
Before you discover it can't be repaired?

How does one continue to live,
When you feel so dead inside?

How is it possible for us to give so much of yourself to someone.....
And then, lose yourself in the process?

How is it possible for 2 people that are involved
In the very same relationship........
Share 2 completely different levels of emotional intimacy?

How is it possible for someone to become
Such a big part of your life........your heart......
And you not become a part of theirs?

How is it possible to love someone so much
That you would risk everything and anything for them,
YET~~~~
They risk nothing for you?

How does one turn their back on love,
When love is often so hard to find?

And If I am to believe that the only purpose of the human race
Is to LOVE........
Then,
Why do I feel so emotionally bankrupt?

So many questions unanswered,
Answers.........
I fear, I many never find.

I don't even know where to begin........
The pain, is just too strong.
Emptiness lingers within me,
I fear...........
I may NEVER belong.

You do belong, you're human and your questions are valid ones.  Lisann,  please don't despair.  You're poem made my heart ache.  I tend to look for ways to cope instead of focusing on the things I cannot change....

Enjoyed your poem...and I hear you~
Makes me so sad though~

in moments of despair......its hard to think otherwise.........its been a very very rough year for me........i'm awaiting my "salvation"  very patiently.   Thanks for reading........perhaps i should have titled it heartache?   but i think i already have one posted with that title.   oh well.
