Broken Poem by Scarborough Gypsy

Broken

Rating: 4.7


My heart sank
As I watched her go
That familiar pain returned in an instant
And I felt hollow inside
I tried hard to smile
As I waved her off
But my face gave in and crumpled
Eyes welled up with tears
Be brave, be brave
Just until she’s out of sight
Don’t let her see your smile lies
Broken on the welcome mat.

Another good one. Poetry helps with emotions. It helps even men who don't have any. Hxx

You explain this feeling so well, I know many men have difficult showing their sadness. It's a shame really because it's OK to share that emotion. Wonderful poem, I enjoyed reading it.--Melvina--

Sadness of heart is a forced front that man must really issue forth as a masked charade of bravery. Tis a lie we men must all bear and embrace. Man is supposed to be brave and fearless and show very little emotion to sadness and it's weakness as percieved by all and our straight male peers. Leave the sadness with all the queers. Great poem of love coming to an abrupt ending so sad. Easily i gave it a ten. God bless to thee-Michael Jeffrey Gale.
