I used to know what words to write I could write the words of the heart like no one else could words that would soften the hardest heart and brighten the darkest spirit words that would make you smile words that would make you cry words that would make you wonder why but, that was when you were here now, I just let the pen flow across the page and the words come out, but they’re not like they used to be there are no promises of love and light there are only wishes of a love that may never be a love that was once long ago these are the words of me words that I really don’t want these are the words of me words that I don’t want to start these are the words of me the words of a broken heart I used to know what words to say I could sing the songs of love forever like you had never heard songs that would fill the soul of life and empty the depths of fear songs that would make you laugh songs that would make you feel songs that would make your love real but then, that was when it was now, I just let the words fall where they may and the music comes out but it’s not like it used to be my love there are no harmonies of passion and promise there are only the dreams of a heart that still believes still believes that love still knows these are the words of me words that I really don’t want these are the words of me words that I don’t want to start these are the words of me the words of a broken heart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sven, Beautifully composed, and deeply sad. I hope your words will take another journey through all the hopes and dreams that lay out there, and will somehow mend the broken heart behnd the pen that writes them.... Never let go of your dreams, and never let go of what can be... Love, Elise |

Your pen still has the ability to make me wonder why and to cry. This is so sad, for one who is filled with love and not to have the one he wants to share it with. Hopefully someday..................... |

Beautifully written, and I do believe that no matter the situation the pen still has it going. Freedom is not Free (Korean War memorial) |

Oh Sven this is touching and sadly beautiful, here's a heartfelt hug for you, my friend, it may not mend your broken heart, but, perhaps it can give it hope to show that I care Melissa~ |

You may think that your pen doesn't speak volumes, but, this one sure does. Written with a pen dipped in the left over memories of so much inner feelings. A poetic write from the heart. Kudos.... Maggie ((~.~)) |

"these are the words of me words that I really don’t want these are the words of me words that I don’t want to start these are the words of me the words of a broken heart" My friend, I do completely understand, and feel this sadness right through my soul. These are the words I always write, the words of a broken heart. Peace Sandra |

ahh, Beautiful Heart! Your pen writes without you I am sure. You give it your depth and strength to do so. No matter how your words fall, they always make me think. I like this. |

Your words elicit all of the above and we hang on each and every one you pen. Your heart will mend and if your work gets any better I'm gonna quit writin' in pure shame of my poor ability as compared to the Great Voice of the North. Write on my friend and I, for one, will read every word (even if they are loooong). |

"these are the words of me words that I really don’t want" Be sure that we want them..... Those words written from the heart and within the writing of them they'd heal the wounds of the broken heart... A touching enjoyable read as always.....just never put down your pen Thank you ************************* |

Ever heard that song, "Time Will Mend A Broken Heart"? It is true! However, so does writing, and this was fantastic! Keep writing, and we will be reading, and time will heal the heart. Kudos, on a great poem. ~ To see real beauty you must look with your heart ~ |

Happens to everyone - The best thing to do when it does is to put all those words in a big ole basket - shake 'em all up - toss 'em up - and see if they fall in a different order - it can be just amazing what comes out... You speak your frustrations well, m'friend... |

Well I have to disagree...your words don't just "fall"...they are placed carefully, tenderly... and something tells me you know this feeling won't last.... no.... somewhere, the bubbles are just waiting to pop. |

Pains of the heart. You penned this well, Sven. Keep writing that's probably the best way to get through it. Throw your heart out in front of you |
