Poems by Ariel Smith

Scars made on my heart never heal.
This is what a girl should never feel.
You stomped on my soul, ripped my heart.
You took my hope, tore it apart.
You played my heart like it was a game.
Now I know you never felt the same.
You shattered my heart in the times of need
Where it always has to bleed.
My heart, you made slowly stop beating.
The pain you caused quickly began repeating.
You told me you love me, that you'd always be there,
But now those are just words floating in the air.
You stabbed my hope; I quickly stopped dreaming.
Your love for me ceased, my heart began screaming,
Slicing my heart, the heartbreaking rain.
When you broke my heart, I couldn't stop the pain.
Now I truly, honestly see
That you never actually loved me.

What does forever mean to you?
When you couldn't even keep it true
You said you'd forever be there,
But were those just words pulled from thin air?
Did you actually love me?
Did you really see the feelings I see?
The truth, the love, the loyal tears,
The betrayal, hate, and the fear.
I thought you felt the same,
That you would cover me in the rain.
I thought forever and always was forever,
But now there's not an us...never.
You said you'd always be there for me,
But now I truly see
That you never saw the feelings in my soul.
Now you've pierced my heart and made a hole,
But my heart has healed.
Now I have friends that are real,
And you're gone out of my life,
Unable to pierce me with the heartbreaking knives.
I thought forever was forever, not just a word,
But I guess that's not what I heard...

You have to be hurt to feel pain
You have to feel dryness to feel rain
You have to walk to be able to run
You have to feel rain to feel sun
You have to dance to be able to stop
You have to stand to be able to drop
You have to be born to be able to grow
You have to have water to have snow
You have to be on the ground to go above
You have to feel hate to be able to feel love.
