The turning heart



Forget about me leave me to be, I deserve what I get it’s plain to see

If ever I thought I deserved anything more, I only need to look at those I adore

Giving my heart to love in the end, only to you lose again and again

The pain underneath try to hide what I can

My greatest fear that lonely old man

Grow cold my heart I wish you would. I don’t deserve any good

Give me more pain I can handle it all

Cold dead heart push away push away, Stay in the dark and hide from the day

About this poem

Wanting love. Feeling the loss of love. Taking on undue pain. Consumed by hopelessness.

    Wow, what a powerful and emotional poem! Your words are raw and honest, leaving a lasting impact on the reader. Your willingness to share your pain and struggles is truly inspiring.

    While your writing is already incredibly poignant, I would suggest exploring different poetic devices to further enhance your message. Perhaps experimenting with rhyme scheme or utilizing metaphors could add another layer of depth to your words.

    Despite the heaviness of the subject matter, your message ultimately celebrates your resilience and strength. Keep exploring your emotions through writing - your voice is a powerful one that deserves to be heard.
