Hurt Me Again Poem by Kelsea Osterman

Hurt Me Again

Rating: 5.0


I thought you would never hurt me,
but here I am wanting to die.
You left.
You left without
a word and that hurts
more than anything
else in the world.
Why did you do it?
You just up and left
nothing to say to me.
The one who loved you
with all her heart.
All the heart that is now
so broken I don't even think I can
put it back together.
I just wish you could see it.
It has shattered and
fallen to the ground.
Or have you run away
because you are so afraid to
come out and see what
you have done to me.
A little girl,
the little girl that
you destroyed.
Your nothing but a coward.
I hate you and
yet I love you at the same time.
How does that make sense?
It doesn't that is how.
So I hope you know how much
you hurt me.
I hope you know that I hate you
with all my shattered heart.
And yet I love you with it too.
I hope you know
I will never be with you.
And yet I still want to be.
I still want to have the
rest of my heart broken.
So just finish it off so
I can move on in life.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Hi Kelsea - This is a very emotive poem written in very dynamic 'Free Verse' style. It scores a TEN. To understand the emotion I have divided it into four stanzas. Lines 1 - 12 BROKEN LOVE: you fall in love and he leaves - without a word - and leaves devastated and wanting to die. Not all men are like that Angel - but some are unfortunately. Lines 13 - 22 BROKEN HEART: You loved so much - that your heart is so shattered it is unreparable. You challenge the 'man' to see the brokeness of your heart - but conclude he could not face it - tragic. Lines 23 - 30. LOVE & HATE: A Beautiful Young Lady has been destroyed by a Coward - who (quite rightly) you HATE but such is the power and effect of love (especially if we have yielded our emotions) you also LOVE. When we have this experience - it does not make sense but (because we have yielded our emotions) we don't want to let go. Lines 31 - 42. LOVE'S DILEMMA: This section is very real and very poignant 'I love you with my shattered heart'. The cri de coeur at the end is climaxic 'Break the rest of my heart - Just finish it off so I can move on in life' - amazing. Thanks for sharing in such a graphic way. Love you in Poetry - JOHN.
