The Comforter

The Comforter

It’s hard to hold my head high
with such a heavy heart.
When there’s no words to summarise
the hurt and disregard.
 

You told me you were separated
so I put you back together.
You said that I had saved your life 
and that you wanted me forever. 

 

It’s rare that I’d let down my guard
and open up my fortress.
I guess I thought that I was more this time
than just a sordid mistress.
 

From nought to sixty in such a short time,
you had me hook, line and sinker.
I gave you a key,
I showed you the real me.
You called me an over thinker.
 

But my gut was right.
I was just solace,
a naive girl,
a big mistake,
a comforting consolation.
 

Once repaired,
you left me despaired,
you remarked on my desperation.
 

 

Why is it nobody seems to fight for what they’ve lost
when what they’ve lost
is me?
Forever the empath, the fixer, the giver
Always discarded
and temporary.

The first two stanzas had me then it seemed to drift a bit.  But as I read on I was grabbed and brought back into the feelings and pain of the writer.
Well done my friend.

Being Me

Oh my gosh how did I miss this amazing write?  Well I found it now and am very glad I did!

It’s hard to hold my head high
with such a heavy heart.

Wow!  Very strong opening!  And I can relate to this soooo much. How could I not continue to read with this scorching line? 

You told me you were separated

so I put you back together.

You said that I had saved your life 

and that you wanted me forever. 

And this is the crux of the poem!  It's an age old story and one that rarely ends well. You have put your heart on the line with this relationship and it was taken and broken. Why is it that all the good hearts get broken? It is only ever the good people that suffer. That is because you cannot break a heart that is not there. People who go from relationship to relationship without suffering heartache do so because they have no heart to break. (That's worth a thought if you ever find yourself with someone who feels nothing from their previous relationship).

Please don't ever think you are temporary... You are not. You, obviously, have a really good heart and one day someone worthy will realise that and they will treat you right forever. 

See how your poem has got me thinking? That's because it is an awesome poem!  5 stars x
