Echoes of a Heart Destroyed

by cassie hughes   Jun 5, 2015


It is undeniable.
This pain you have created.
This hole at my core where
love used to sit
quiet and unashamedly
happy.
And now you decide
to stir up the echoes
of what used to be once more.
Rubbing salt in wounds
barely healed.
Burning away
all hope I may have had
of reconciliation.
Leaving nothing but
the barrenness of life
without a
heart....

Destroyed.

    Wow!

    I nominated this as I feel it is a great poem for the front page!

    It highlights so much pain that we can all relate to, and you have worded it in such a unique way that strays away from the cliché metaphors and wording that usually tags along this theme of poem.

    I can really relate to this poem, and it hits home for me. I like your opening line, it implies that you have tried to deny it, but know that you just cannot ignore how much it hurts.

    I also like the layout of the poem throughout, right to the every end where you choose to slow it down, and then leave that last word on its own, creating more impact and the word "Destroyed" really is a great word to end with. Showing exactly how this person has made you feel!

    Love this!
    Well done!
