A Broken Heart & Bruised Knees.

by ABake   Oct 5, 2007


I fall to my knees, begging you not to go.
Tears stream down my face, you begin to walk away.
The pain is uncontrollable, my body begins to shake.
I manage to choke out one last "I love you."

I lay there dazed, almost paralyzed with shock.
I feel so dead, yet my heart still beats.
It beats only for you, except now in a million pieces.
If it hurts at all, you haven't showed it yet.

Hours later I half heartedly regain my composure,
Tears still continue to fall.
It's still a little hard to breathe, I can't really think.
Bruised knees and a broken heart is all I have left.

I look out at these stars, the ones you said were ours.
Close my eyes, maybe make a wish...
I lay my head down on this satin sheet,
A fresh set of tears rest on my chin, one more chance...

When I fell for you, babe, I fell hard..
These bruised knees will heal,
But I am afraid this broken heart will not.
All I have left, is a broken heart and bruised knees...

[Hope you enjoy...it was a weird write for me....]

    Wow.
    I love it. It's not quite what I expected for the title.. I expected more of a cutting/suidical poem for some reason. Lol.

    Amazing Job.
    Kiu. (:

    I liked the tone and mood of this poem. I felt I could relate to it. I totally know where you're coming from on this one although from a slightly different perspective. I look forward to reading more of your work.
