Hello, everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read. This certainly isn't one of my better pieces, and it's not something I'm looking to improve. It's just a little piece I wrote to mend a broken heart and I thought I would share it with you.
__

The comforting touch of his hand
is simply no consolation,
his voice cannot be heard in the
darkness of my desolation.

He can do nothing for me now
I am numb to his affection.
No feelings stir within my heart
when I glance in his direction.

And I blame it on you

Broken now
you left me bleeding
the reminence of your lies
dripping from my veins.
Show me how
I'm supposed to go on
having tasted all I want
but can never have.
Remove this vow
from before my eyes
I can't afford to love you
oh, no, but I do.

How unfair that I should miss
your voice, your touch
the freckle beneath your left eye-
When you don't care.
When you don't miss me.
I could disappear
and you would never know.

Wow. This hit home so hard, it's scary. I can relate only too well. I couldn't have written this better myself.
And no it doesn't need to improve, only because it's already amazing.
Thanks for sharing, this is going in my library.

But Im comforted
by the fact that I can hurt inside
all I want to
without anyone ever knowing

Wow this is pretty powerful. You have a way with communicating your thoughts down into a very well written poem. I LOVED this one and it hit me where it hurts- some of my own memories.

very well done. I do hope to read more from you

I liked this...I know where you're coming from unfortunitly, and it sucks. I'm sorry you're going through this. The poem was good nonetheless.

Thank you for all of your replies, they are greatly appreciated. I am glad I could write something that touched many people, but sad to hear that others have been through the same situation. It's encouraging to see that you all have made it and reminds me that I will, too.

I hate that; when someone leaves you so dead inside. It's like they rip the living soul right out of you; and all they had to do was walk away.  No need to improve this one; raw and unedited suits you just fine!   Sorry again that you feel this way, from one suffering heart to another.

I hear ya...it's always so hard when someone walks away and leaves you floundering in your feelings, forgotten. This poem expresses that well.
