The Meaning of Love? MAG
November 8, 2008
The beating of my broken heart, now chained and locked away,
I hear much louder, through the night, than words we never say.
As hollow kisses turn to dust and fall against my skin,
I pray that I might find the strength to fall in love again.
Abandoned innocence, stripped away, discarded on the floor.
In the dirt, I bury hope that love leaves unlocked doors.
I am held, though never cherished, yet to be made whole.
My tears can wipe themselves away, but I must save my soul.
Bare feet, run, lead me home, where I am Mother’s child,
And toward the pale rose sunset for a pretty little while.
If broken wings may carry dreams, and carry me to sleep,
Take me far away from love and tell me what it means.

Great job! I loved this peom... I don't have a broken heart but I am in love/ have a crush on someone that i'm friends with right now. I love writing and have a passion for writing too. What I like best about this poem though is that you wrote it from your heart and I think that writing should come from your heart. Wonderful job.

You're writing is honestly inspirational. I was just crying over a dumb boy literally 2 minutes ago, i came in to look at poems because they always calm me and yours was the first one to pop up. Its exactly what I'm going through. Keep writing!
