Alone Until

Average Rating

Heart racing;
I'm facing
lonely nights,
spent erasing
the broken dreams
I've been chasing.

No replacing
your missing glow.
Wounded soul,
damaged so:
Giving up
and letting go
are not the same,
I hope you know.

Cannot grow
without the will.
Better, still,
we both feel
happier,
alone until
our broken hearts
finally heal.

"Thank you for this poem. Breaking up is hard to do and go through regardless of whether gay or straight. Our feelings are the same when love enjoyed becomes love lost, 'until our broken hearts finally heal.'... ...This wonderful poem of few words are just perfect, brokenness can be described in 'few words' and you've proven it in this poem.

 

I like those short lines which are filled with emotions. I like the progression of the feelings and the reference to 'cannot grow' and move on until 'finally heal'. Great and true message.

 

ANN"

"A WILL TO HEAL! I liked this short free verse poem. It has good flow of thoughts all over. There is clarity of thought and purposive conviction. Word imageries are good to sound well and word visuals are likeable while there is a very nice narrative taletelling with speed of expression. It was a good read.

"Hello Koda. Great fast paced break up poem. Each line brought a memory to mind and each rang with truth. Easy to relate to for many now the difference between 'Giving up And letting go.' and the end sums up the healing process to a tee. For the heart stays alone until it heals. Nice job"

"Thank you for listing this poem for review. Catchy title. It was certainly supported well by this work. motion: Despair (for me any way) Great use of wordage. You painted many very vivid thought pictures for me. I thought the story moved well line by line. The format was interesting. I was entertained. Very good effort. Congratulations, Rick"
