"Keep taking time for yourself until you're you again." - Lalah Delia


I felt the fire,

as I admire

the sudden dire.

I felt the rain,

my heart will forever abstain,

their love I will forever acquire.

They became my new supplier,

my heart craved them prior.


I wish they would explain, 

or fix my heart ingrain,

Your love overtook my senses like gunfire.

An explanation is really all I require.

Hoping someone can take me higher.

I try my hardest to maintain,

a positive mindset I must obtain.

You are nothing but a liar,

yet you are all I desire.


Answers, again are all I inquire.

You saw me as a mundane,

a fire started in my heart and you were the propane.

My heart would sing for you like a choir,

your damaging words will never inspire.

My mind I must now rewire,

for you I went insane.

Now the love I have for you I must detain.


The author's comments:

As a teenager I have gone through more than one type of heartbreak and so I wrote this poem that captured that exact feeling. The feeling of being betrayed or just feeling like nothing was real is an extremely scary feeling. I wrote this hoping that someone going through this exact thing did not feel alone.
