Two Sides Poem by Lauren Beasley

Two Sides



Your callous hands held my heart
Your callous heart broke it
Heartless you were with my feelings
Heart-less I am now without one

Your cold fingers stroked my arm
Your cold heart twisted it
Your cleaving gave me hope
But your cleaving brought me despair

Your heated passion held me close
Your heated temper pushed me away
You were careless then with my emotions
I couldn't care less now if you're hurting

Your available shoulder caught my tears
Your cold shoulder caused them
Meaningless were my words to you
Yours are meaning less to me every day

Your sharp wit caused us to cut up
Your sharp tongue cut up my heart
Dashing, once, I thought you were
Dashing my hopes, you were at last

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
May 29,2014. By now, we had broken up.
For this poem, I decided to take a different approach than my regular rhyme scheme. I used words that had multiple meanings, in the first line displaying the sweet side, in the second, displaying the hurtful. This was to represent how I felt after we broke up, like he had two sides that could switch so quickly, and how my emotions could flip in a snap because of it.
