Shattered

Broken and single it

stays there abandoned

put on a smile

look tough and solid

 

Friends and Family

clueless to facts

never ask never call

they still think a lie

 

A lie was never told

though a show was put up

the eyes never hid

never shadowed the truth

 

He has never looked upon

to the truth inside

deep into those eyes to see

the truth inside

 

the heart that lay broken

stitched back in places

a heart that was in hands

was loved then replaced

 

Will the boy shatter that heart

or stay to love and repair

the choice may be horrid but

he'll never forget

 

His fault for the heart that was shattered.

Love it!

This is a great piece for such a young poet. I absolutely love your first 3 stanzas, simple but powerful. the heart that lay broken stitched back in places a heart that was in hands was loved then replaced Gotta be my other fave stanzas. All around, a great write for your age! Never fear to ask for any advice from the other poets, we're always willing to help and always willing to talk! Keep the poetry coming! Peace and Love Katie

Good job on this one - you really have surpassed your age limit in finding the right words for this one. I read this before I found out your age and I was thinking after reading this that you were around 16. I'm very glad that you're interested in improving your skills, I wish I had wrote more as I was growing up. By the time you get my age you'll be an excellent poet! ;-) I liked the stanzas at the beginning the most - probably because I've been in similar situations where I've kept things to myself rather than talked about them. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work! Also, if you want to see Katie's stuff - you can click on her screenname right above the comments she left for you and that will take you to her profile. ;-) Misty
