My heart has been broken
Like shattered glass
That lay scattered on the floor
And had to be swept up
so that not one single particle
Be left visible
To the naked eyes
Or touches the smooth skin,
Like a dagger in any given day
Before feet could cross
The threshold of this door! ...
Hey you! Watch your steps!
Splinters still remain
Painful and undetected-
watch your step!
Deep cuts left unprotected
Due to carelessness of my own...
Now, feeling badly hurt,
Being sharply touched,
I must take precautions
Before I surrender true feelings,
I must also scrutinize everyone
Before I totally give in
Avoiding to fall apart again, .
Rejecting a life
Of distrust and pain...

I could feel some pain in here, I like the metaphor for the glass, and shards. Cutting like a cut heart.
really a great poem. I will remember it for the feeling of it.
Your attempts at poetry are very well thought out but why not write about things other than yourself and the world may open out to you. Read many that are about other things and not just love and love lost. Read mine - Frustrated Plans - Adeline
Oh captain! You know the mood! You have brilliantly captured the mood! Thank you
i love this: O :) it really is an emotional piece that truely came from the heart
We all have a room in our heart that someone we loved the most vacated. It is like losing a loved one and not being able to clean out the room they lived in, or removing their possessions, for fear we would forget them, and the feeling we had for them. But that vacant room is sometimes the ink that fills our pens and we write and we bleed. Always write what you feel, that is truth.
This poem explans how i fill some times very beautiful love it
