I Am.. I Am
I am that tear that fills your eye
and spills a river down your face.
You try so hard now not to cry
because your tears will leave their trace
I am those teeth that bite your lip
to halt the quiver in its track
from forming sounds that might just slip
and say the words āI want you backā
I am those memories in your head
you try so hard to just ignore,
but still you think of what he said
that changed your whole life from before.
I am the thought you push aside
uneasy with this newest notion.
Youāve lost all measured sense of pride
and know your tears will fill an ocean
I am that heart that beats within
now broken, crushed beyond repair,
yet ready to forgive his sin
whilst knowing he will never care
I am , I am , the you you've lost.
He was your world and nothing less
You let me go at no great cost
and chose instead his unkindness.

You describe very well the emotions when a heart's broken. It's human tragedy when we have no words to say and no tears to cry.
Hello my friend, lovely to see you here and welcome. Thank you for your kind words and I look forward to reading many of your pieces!Ā

Many thanks for your intro, and like this site better ;)
You have managed to convey all the hurt and angst which can feel like an unwelcome lodger ..sometimes for years after a betrayal. I have had a few of those!! Great write š
I hope the passing years have treated you more kindly Marion ā„ the hurt never completely leaves us does it? ..but we do learn to not let it dominate our lives.Thank you so much for your kind words ..they mean a lot xx
Missed this wonderful write!.......................Jim
How lovely that you found this one and thank you so much for your kind words Jim...that means a lot! Lodigiana x
Lodigiana, sadness, heartache and break also betrayal with melancholy also woven in to deliver a real emotion roller coaster of a poem.
The hurt is always there never truly dissipates, always dormant under one's skin, but, there are times hopefully long and many when it is forgotten.
Another journey of a poem however sad and again beautifully well written and delivered.
Thank you for writing and sharing and sometimes this life can't all be about sweetness and roses, for we're all human and fragile.
Stay safe and warm Lodigiana and I thank you again for writing a touch of poetry class.

Thank youĀ so much Shaun, as they say..life is a tapestry made up of silks and thread..some enhancing a beautiful image ..others faded and worn but together it's an image that depicts lifeĀ I guess and yesĀ you are so right that it does reflect our humanity and fragility...but I like to hope that love eventually conquers all!Ā Stay safe and happy always my friendĀ Lodigiana x
