Heart and Soul Demolished
A Sonnet
Does a heart feel itself breaking inside?
Can it bear to be open and swollen?
I wanted your love; I hate that you lied
and I can't bear to see my life stolen.
Can it bear to be open and swollen?
I wanted your love; I hate that you lied
and I can't bear to see my life stolen.
You've taken from me my essence, my life
As you chiseled away my broken heart.
You told me I was your lover, your wife.
Bitter pieces shred as they break apart.
You choose not to think we'd been together
Though pictures of our children line your walls
While together I always felt tethered
to the deception that you don't recall.
In the end why would I think that you cared
as my soul lay splayed, ripped open, and bared.

Post a CommentA broken heart always fuels the creative mind... Have only been able to comment on two of five of your articles viewed today. Glitches can break your heart, too. I know, slightly exaggerating...
Wow Theresa, so honest, so open...so good.
I'm back for another read.
Well done Theresa.
Just wanted you to know how much I liked your article about perception! I wish we could comment again on health articles. You made an interesting point about a crime scene -- how a short and tall woman's description of a suspect would vary. Brilliant observation! :)
The pain is so out there. It clutches my heart.
I hate to say that I can relate. It is a horrible experience and you expressed it very well. I am so sorry that you have experienced this too.
I tried to leave a comment on your article on perceptions. It was also excellent and so true. It is amazing how different our perceptions can be, even in families where we grow up with the same parents.
Very powerful and sad poem.
This is just raw emotion in the greatest sense. Wow...you really know how to write from the (broken?) heart.
THeresa, you really make us feel the pain. Well done.
