[hometext] => Written after a breakup, trying to get my frustrations down to a decent level
[bodytext] => Breathe,
Just breathe
Let love back in
Let life relive
Let water flow
And heal the broken
Seal the torn
But why?
She’ll hurt - and I can’t heal
She’ll bleed - I can’t bind
She’ll drown - and I can’t swim
That sea
No, not that sea
Why skilled in swimming be
When I can’t
When it really matters?
Why the mountains
I can’t climb?
Why the air
When I can’t breathe?
Why the words
When I can’t write?
Broken blade
Broken blade
Heartless beat
Inkless pen
Useless
Why beat,
My barren heart?
Why beat?
Why rebuild, remake, rekindle
When all is blown away?
In the end, broken pieces
Still stand
And fall again
Again
Again…
Why bleed, and sweat, and hurt,
For pain?
Why?
Because I need to prove
To myself
That love is real?
Because of love?
Why?

More lyrical language, which is good. It suits matters of the heart better than rhyme or rhythm does.
I see a couple of lines that might be improved; personally I'd reword a little of the second and/or third lines in
Why skilled in swimming be
When I can’t
When it really matters?
largely because I think the first line is really well worded, and the following ones don't match it. But all in all it's quite good. It avoids being "not finished" by being open-ended.
But only just.

| I absolutely loved the interrogatives upon which this poem lays its groundwork. I thought this was brilliant, a fine show of poesy. |

Wow, I don't know if you got your "frustrations down to a decent level" but you have definitely gotten that heartbreaking emotion down in poetic verse. Excellent work.
Thanks for sharing your heart and talent.

I hope I've proven to you that love is real...
I wondered this same thing before you..
Everything always seemed to go wrong.
Everything seemed to be fake.
Everything... hurt me.
I was hurting.
I was bleeding.
I was drowning.
I was empty.
No one cared.
I stopped caring.
But now... It seems that the emptiness in my heart was filled.
I hurt... you healed me.
I bled... and you did bind.
I was drowning.. and you saved me.
You've protected me from all my fears.
Your heart beats for me, and mine beats for you.
I love you.
Me. |

this is genius. it's inquisitive, beautiful, angst-filled and emotive. i particularly love this bit:
'Why beat,
My barren heart?
Why beat?'
amazing poetry.

Love is like faith,for it's not love or faith, which get's us down
it's usually people who pervert or diminish these pure and beautiful gifts
I like this poem because it shows that the pain is real
but we keep trying, we keep believing
even if we do wonder why
