You Cannot Break A Broken Heart

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   Dec 20, 2011


You can't break a broken heart
You can't go back to the past
All we have left is the now
We have to seperate somehow

So I'll make the first move
And do what needs to be done
There is no love lost here
So you cannot be the one

We'll wake from this nightmare
We can walk away from this hell
Because this feels like doing time
It's like being court in a cell

But freedom is calling us out
We can finally break away
The sun is now setting and rising
On a new day

So this is the final goodbye
No more arguing here
Don't you know that you can't
Break a boken heart my dear

You've already messed with my head
But clarity has started to come
Shocked by strength I can see that
It's made you numb

I will rise from the ashes
Leaving us behind
The past was cruel so the
Future has to be kind

Soon you will be just a memory
A person from the depths of my past
I've had a lucky escape this vicious
Cycle did not last

    I don' think I have heard this before:
    You can't break a broken heart

    A very original line carrying the emotions through well in this sad poem.

    Jenna, dear
    Inticing title, linked well as incorporated into the first stanza,
    flow was up and down,
    a few mistakes/errors if you fine tooth comb it but...
    Strong ending and saddened tone throughout, good rhymes and simple artistry.

    Hey babe,

    Well I have to say I love the title. It pulls me in and makes me want to read more. Not just that - I believe the title to be true!

    The poem itself is very strong with emotion. A little story being told about two lovers who had in my mind broken up and gotten back together again (the whole vicious cycle thing)

    After a while the heart is so broken and cannot be fixed - and of course he goes and tries to break it again

    As sad as this poem is I do like the fact that in the end you have freed yourself from this relationship and you will be able to mend and heal

    A well written poem

    In my opinion some stanzas weren't too strong but I found the last two to be too powerful.

    I will rise from the ashes
    Leaving us behind
    The past was cruel so the
    Future has to be kind

    Soon you will be just a memory
    A person from the depths of my past
    I've had a lucky escape this vicious
    Cycle did not last

    I really like this two stanzas.
