A Broken Heart Poem by Vivian Nkem

Suddenly, the fire has stopped burning
And the promise of love gone
A lot of secrets hidden
As u carefully planned your leaving
Faking what you didn't feel.
I keep remembering…..
Just one thing,
The moments we shared

You indeed showed me love
Thought it would never end
And through it all, I was happy
That felt warmth inside my heart
What brought us close is what I don't know
Was it love? Cos it's gone
Oh! Please someone tell me it's a lie

I thought we made it far
Away from this hurricane
Now the pain isn't over
And I don't know where to start
One thing's for sure
This moment will fade into the past
Cos right now my world is spinning too fast
As I see the sun rising
I keep getting stronger

I read the signs
But refused to believe
Until the day tou thought me how to break a heart
That was a minute too late
Hear the pain in my voice
I hate that day!
I hate that you were all that I knew

Since you're not worth my love
My dreams won't call your name
Cos if you were the one for me
You wouldn't hurt me so bad
I know my heart's still breathing
The sound tells me to move on
Even when the words don't rhyme
A broken heart can still survive
