Get Your Feet Wet

So many days have come to pass
Since on your lips she kissed her last
So many times that you have dwelled
Sweet agony your heart expelled

Without her close you feel the cost
The heavy burden; true love lost
And crying out you clutch your chest
Tortured memories; thought repressed

But there will come a time again
Another girl to mend your pain
And you’ll forget the one before
Won’t even pause to pass her door
No longer troubled by her life
Her thoughts, her moods, her woes, her strife
The heart is strong and it will mend
All the sorrow will come to end

So keep your chin up; spirits bright!
Be sure to party all the night
Life’s too short for bitter regret
Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet

I'm 25 from Berkshire, UK. Currently attempting to avoid distraction and write a novel (mostly failing at avoiding distraction). Please check out the bf's stuff as well @iamjordanlee :)

Fortress.

Let's go build a fortress, To keep out all the pain, Let's go mend my broken heart, And make it whole again.

My Beating Heart

You took my heart. And cupped it in your hands. You felt its warmth. And it's steady rhythm. You kept it safe. And showed it the world. You felt its joy. And it's constant love. You nurtured it.

Lucky You See

I offered you my heart. But all did was tore it apart. A million pieces. Scared winces. You left me broken. My door no longer open. Fears locked away. Forever and a day. You broke me.

Without You

Without you I am nothing A candle without a flame Without you I am nothing do you feel the same.

Cry in the rain

I’ll never let you see The way my broken heart is hurting me. I’ve got my pride, And I know how to hide All my sorrow and pain: I’ll do my crying in the rain.

Her

Her eyes don't like up when she hears your name anymore. She doesn't get chills when you smile at her. Her heart doesn't race when you walk by. Your just a bad memory in the back of her mind.

A New Picture

(Messing about with different forms of poetry, this one is minute poetry). I try to picture you with him. Without crying. But fail each time. Eyes seldom dry. I need to find a new picture.

@shanwan 'So' is a good word, the only way you could abuse it is by not using it love ;)
