Beating Heart 

I am alone with the beating of my heart,

each beat represents pain

What used to be is gone


How I sit alone listening to the beat

Of my heart How I sit alone, I think 

How it was all i lie he never cared every moment we had 

Meant the world to me but absolutely nothing to you. 


Love isn't for the weak, giving your heart to someone is so innocent 

Until your heart shatters into a million small pieces  and all you can feel is 

Weight in your chest. 

 sit alone and all I can feel is pain, thump thump

Each thump hurts

Originally this poem was really difficult for me to share because it's so personal and venerable, but then as I grew as a poet I learned that embracing the venerability of my poem is beautiful.
