Heartbreak Poem by Jeff Law

What have I done to feel this pain?
I haven’t lost, and I haven’t gained
I guess I’ll have to play your immature game
And live my life in misery and shame

All I tried to do is care
And make sure when you wanted me that I was there
And if the pain was hard, I would help you share
But break your words is a thing I wouldn’t dare

I didn’t even make a mistake
But still you caused my heart to ache
I served you my love upon a silver plate
But you spat up your darkness, your filth and your hate

So I guess I’ll surrender, I’ll wave the white flag
I’ll keep up the pace, wounded from your attack
And once I am gone, really I’m not coming back
I’ll pack up my things, with my love in my bag

Goodbye now, I’m out, the curtains are closed
And all of my tears, they are smudged on my clothes
When will I see you? There’s nobody that knows
I wore my heart on my sleeve and I hope that it showed

I didn’t want to be pushed or be shoved
I just wanted a hug from the woman I love
But I cannot get through; you're like a mirage
It’s like trying to break through all your entourage

My heart is in pieces, all shattered and split
These issues I’m fighting, I can’t deal with it
You’ve pushed my face down, hurt due to cuts from the grit
Let me up, but you wont, you hold me tight in your grip

I think back to the times when we ran and we held
and nobody mattered just me you and ourselves
But now I am whipped, by the buckle of your belt
This pain is like nothing that I’ve ever felt

Goodbye and I love you, so much I always will
I tried and I died to show you how I feel
I tip toed and laid, I jumped and I kneeled
But I guess that meant nothing, you locked my heart in a jail

I hope in four years, you’ll look back and regret
That you didn’t know what you had until you lost it
because a love like my own, is not easy to get
I hope the next man will take over my step

But just think real quick, about my face, watch my lips
He can’t love you half of the amount that I did
And he won’t do the things for you that I did
So thank you, I’m heartbroken. I barely even lived
