I’ve become expert in the science of pain
For I am broken, scarred and stained
No matter what I may think or do
My mind returns to thoughts of you
A teardrop away from falling apart
I cannot deny
My
Wounded
Heart

I’ve tried telling myself that I’ll be fine
But the path’s unclear, a dotted line
The hills get higher and valleys fall
I fail in attempts to overcome it all
With each step taken the fear has grown
I hate that
I’m
Traveling
Alone

I’ve become useless to any other soul
I’ve proven that and it’s getting old
Unable to get back what is now gone
I accept it but still can’t move on
I am in love alone - and it seems
I’m lost in
A
Broken

I am sorry you are in such pain. I wish I could fix it for you. I can only say from experience that it will eventually ease and life will start again. It will never be perfect, but it will be better than now.

Hugs,
Rita

I have to say that this is by far the most excellent piece I've read in days.
Though I am so sorry for your emptiness,I must give a "hip hoorah" for such a fantastically penned masterpiece.

Peace be with you and may the ~Great Spirit~ hold your hand as you find your path

what a tragic yet touching piece. I really enjoyed the heart put into that, as well as the perfect rythme and rhyme in each stanza.

Beautiful
Kisses,

I've been there!!! I hope that you find your way through the hurt and realize that you will have other dreams ;)

This is a GREAT write! Definitely the best I've read during my "lurking" time here at your-poetry.com. You have a way of saying exactly what you feel that is superb! Keep it up! Great work!

'A teardrop away from falling apart
I cannot deny My Wounded Heart'

'I am in love alone - and it seems
I’m lost in A Broken Dream.'

I love these two sentences, the imply so much in their meaning, this write is an example to all emotional poetry of show to show pure emotion in your writing through the use of nice metaphors
Together with your general poetic prowess this is a write to rant and rave about till the hills come alive with the sounds of screaming

Oh and in the comment you left, asking me if its about love, the answer is yes, though its not from experience, just mere poetic ramblings

I stand by Rita on this one. I wish I could fix you too. It's okay. You know we all love you, right?

"A teardrop away from falling apart"

"But the path’s unclear, a dotted line"

"I am in love alone - and it seems
I’m lost in
A
Broken
Dream"

Who couldn't love someone who feels so much, so deeply, so sensitively and also one who writes with such profound beauty? The beauty in the writing only shows the beauty within you...which must shine outward somewhere, you know. Don't be so sad, sweetheart.
**HUGS**
Lots of love and peace be with you,

Chelsea

Yeah it is ironic how the poem surfaced on your nations Independence Day. Well I hope you feel better. The poem said a lot about your emotions and thoughts. Hope you get through this tough period in time.

You pain that comes out of the words is artfully done.
Very well written.
I wish for you happiness and relief from your sorrow.
