"JAR OF HEARTS"
The jar of glass was full,
of so many, broken hearts
Collected by a loveless man
his empathy was sparse.
He`d be the knight in shining
armour, until he had his fill
Then without warning he`d tear
you apart, for him it was just a thrill
A streak of cold ran through his
veins his bitterness, like ice
No one understood his hatred
of all that was good and nice
Maybe he`d been hurt in love
and wanted to quell his pain
But there`s no excuse for anyone
to suffer, and other hearts be slain
So all he does is pretend to love
to satisfy his cruel, twisted mind
Not thinking one iota of the heartache
caused, that he has left behind
So be careful if you meet this man
for he collects hearts with vicious glee
Then puts them in a jar of glass
until he decides, to set them free

Incisive write reflecting on the way some men use women for mere enjoyment not concerned with their feelings or emotions.
Your poems are always engrossing and stimulating !
Best wishes to you ! :)
H Richard Thank you for your comments
they mean Alot. this write was inspired through
a song "Jar of Hearts" and my own experience`s
with a man of this type, i have added the song now
Thanks again and warm wishes to you Debs
Hug.
WOW!! ~ DEBS!!...... this is a great poem my friend..... from start to finish....... the intent is driven home with powerful poetic integrity....... you can tell that you had some experience with this type of man....... and you made your point beautifully here within the confines of a perfect rhyme scheme....... men that pass through your life and use you for selfish reasons ~ never realizing that they are taking a part of your heart and soul with them when they leave...... or even worse..... They DO realize what they're doing!!..... the ambiance was enhanced by the song choice by Christina Perri!!...... gonna have to check her out........ Loved everything about this piece........PINNED......powerful stuff girlfriend!!........LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo
Hi Tony your comments on this write have made me emotional
This month it is six years i managed to get away from this man
The song was released a few months later,and i was in a bad place then
I always loved the words of the song and know every one of them by heart
because they meant everything i felt at that time,they inspired me to not give up
and stay away from him,I always wanted to write a poem a sort of the flip side of
the original words telling about the cruel man himself, and although it is`nt
everyone`s cup of tea as a topic , I lived this and more and needed to write it out ,
i am pleased how it came together. and you my friend will never know how
much it means to me what you wrote about it in your comments Thank you so very much
love n hugs Debs xo
P.S Tony Thank you for honoring me with a pin
Hi Cherie Wow! Thank you so much for your words
they have blown me away to be honest, i`m so emotional about this write
I guess when Tony wrote once in a comment "The poets poem"
this is mine, as it took me six years to write it
Thank you Cherie for the pin means the world it really does
love n hugs Debs xox
Hi Dear Debs,
I can't wait until he gets jarred himself. The player gets played by the playee, as he has fallen hopelessly in love, only to have his heart ripped to shreds by a beautiful player, who professes her love, but was only waiting to land him and toss him in her "Jar of Hearts".
Hugs, Peace and Love,
xox Larry
HI Dear Larry He will one day have his just desserts
karma has a way of happening with people such as him I
am only glad he is not in my life any more
Thank you for your comments my friend
love n hugs Debs xox
