Broken part 1
Oh sweet love,
how you have easily broken my fragile heart,
you who I have given myself so trustingly.
Could it be that I can't see, you are
simply toying with my heart I gave you truly.
I must be capable of seeing,
that the gift of my heart has no meaning
for you have left it cold and broken on the floor.
But oh dearest love,
though you torture me and take my heart and soul
I can't refuse you for I love you so.
You are killing me and I willingly die for you
but please tell me why
why you would choose my heart to break?
For surely you must know my love for you is deep.
But alas I see you are all for the game.
Even though my feelings for you will always be the same.
If I truly had no shame,
I would softly beg you "Please, let's try again."
And if you were in the mood
you would toy with my love once more
then throw me away, back to the floor
And I would let you take everything I have
For you have broken my heart and soul
And oh I love you so,
But oh I love you so.
I've never wrote a poem before but I needed to vent some emotion so please tell me what you think.

When someone you love turns away and seems no longer to return that love, perhaps even, never really did, it leaves such an aching, empty feeling - confused, angry, hurt, yet still loving, longing for life to be what it used to be. Or what it used to appear to be: for can someone who genuinely loved make you feel as you do?
For now, the strong emotion inspires you to poetry - you've expressed your feelings very well. You've laid your heart on your sleeve, as it were. Naturally you write - in spite of the callous response - that "my feeling for you will always be the same", which is fine in poetry. In life, however, what you feel right now will gradually diminish. Slowly, imperceptibly, the empty ache will fade; the thoughts that go over and over in your head will gradually give way to a myriad of others as life returns to normal, just as the ripples on a pond when a stone has disturbed the surface, slowly settle back to calm and serenity.
This will be your experience, too; we've all been through it. But it takes some time, weeks certainly, probably a few months - that must seem like a lifetime away, just now. But think to beyond that time, when the autumn leaves are falling - a beautiful time of the year. You'll be able, then, to re-read your poem without your heart missing a beat, and smile wistfully, perhaps remember some of the fun times, then carry on with the full and fulfilling life you'll be enjoying again.
Trust me, I'm an old man who knows ;-). I'd like to read the poem you write then, 'As Autumn Leaves are Falling'.
