I Take Back My Tears MAG
I take back my tears
the wasted years
I spent crying
for what never could happen
I take back my heart
my shattered heart
Up off the ground
and back in my arms
I take back my hope
wasted on you
and toss it aside
for it has no meaning now
Nothing you say
no words
no songs
can heal the bleeding wound
That you opened again and again
I walk a free woman
held by nothing of yours
and fly away free
as free as the wind

It's simple and at the same time holds great meaning. I have to say it's one of the better ones I've read :) You've done an amazing job with just these few words. I myself write mostly of the pain brought on by someone I thought I loved. I can relate to this one in so many ways. Keep it up! I like everything about it!
Yours truly,
Alexandra
I admire your poem. It is very strong and wise. Seriously. I love it.
