21. Dust To Dust
If your heart was a diamond, perfect and clear,
glittering gleaming like a broken heart's tear,
if lust was coal, dusty and black,
would it make you realize you want to come back?
If your heart was a diamond, perfect and clear,
glittering gleaming like a broken heart's tear,
if lust was coal, dusty and black,
would it make you realize you want to come back?
I really liked the metaphors and symbolism woven into this poem, as well as the artful rhyming and flow of the words. Lovely poem to read! I found it to be energetic, almost youthful, but...

I am lying awake in my nice, warm bed.
I am not sleeping because you are stuck in my head.
I try to forget that you were ever here,
But you made a huge impact in that one short year.
Wonderful poetry Taeha, your despair shows through every word you've shared. I hope one day your friend shows up, with a big, warm, consoling hug.

You think that I don't miss you
And you think that I don't care.
I'm tired of all this.
Time to open up and share.
I'm going through something like this right now. "My friend" is not really a friend. She treats me like I do not belong, and I do not like the way she treats me. She went behind my back and...
My love to her is a roaring fire.
She's all I ever did or will desire.
Without her I am no more,
'Cause she's all I live for.
In my experience, a boy with the courage to put it all out there for all to see is not only rare, it's inspiring! I am so proud that the author took this step. He has set an amazing example....
If there was one more thing I could tell you,
I'd tell you that you saved my life.
I'd tell you that you are my savior.
In the darkness you are my light.
I really love your poems. They're brilliant. Well done!
I feel so empty; all colors are dull.
I can barely breathe on my own.
The light is gone and dark is back.
Cover me in endless black,
I enjoyed the poem "Since You Left." The poet spoke her heart out.
Today as I went home,
even if I'm with my friends, I feel so alone.
Thinking of you made me feel so blue,
for you love her, and I'm in love with you.
This poem hit so hard that I was in tears by the end of it because it hurts so much. I'm in love with my ex, and we dated 2 and a half years ago when we were really dumb and immature. We...
I love you.
Those three words didn't mean a thing.
I thought we were meant to be,
But I guess it was just a fling.
This poem meant a lot to me. This is my first real heartbreak. It really does hurt when a relationship comes to an end. The good thing is that this is a learning experience that can help us...
Love is so complicated.
It makes me so frustrated,
But when I'm with you, everything is right,
And that is why I wish to be with you tonight.
I am 17 to me love has always been hurting. The one I truly loved I had to let him go cause I had to move to a new country. It became a bit hard for us to talk. We turned insecure and I guess...
I see the way you look at me; it starts a flutter in my heart.
I feel the sadness, confusion, and pain throughout my every vein,
Even though we're worlds apart.
You came to me when you were sad
And I was stupid to take you back
I thought you could change
But I was wrong and I'm filled with pain
Every day is the same old thing.
Seeing you with her makes my heart sting.
The way your eyes look at her with desire,
I feel as though my whole world is on fire.
I was in high school when a guy joined our school. I was only attracted at first but loved him later. He made me smile when I forgot to smile. He was my hope and strength. We were friends for...
You have no idea how I felt
You were my entire life
They say with time broken hearts heal
Rather than wait, I turned to my knife
I can see the pain in your eyes,
it's right there,
reminding me of what I've done.
I am the betrayer,
This poem really spoke to me. Having been on both sides of the terrible plague that is cheating, this poem opened my eyes to what I have done and how much pain cheating can cause. I can't...
I lie awake on my bed and think of you.
Oh, how I wish you had a clue.
I think of the times we spent together.
I wish those memories would last forever.
I must admit,
My heart was hit.
You broke it apart,
Cut through real smart.
I told you how I felt,
But you turned the other cheek.
I was basically rejected.
I feel so small, so very weak.
I met him this year while I was in the process of leaving an abusive relationship. We met on a dating app and became besties. We told each other everything. Long story short, he lied to me...
He's gone,
Like a shadow when the sun goes down.
The magic fades when he turns around.
Great descriptors that paint a picture for the reader. Looking forward to read more from you!
OMG. This poem resonates with me. My ex was my best guy friend, and then he broke up with me and straight away he started dating another girl. When she broke his heart by cheating on him, he...
Every day I think of you,
But it's just a matter of time.
I can't keep going through life like this,
You will never be mine.
Well I'm friends with a boy that I love, but he's dating someone else. She's so much better than me in so many ways and I know that I don't stand a chance. I want to move on but I just...
