Careful With A Broken Heart

by AkiraEliza


a broken heart is full of careless, thoughtless stitches

their personality is full of endlessly switching switches

their heart is full of holes and scars

embedded in their skin are painful, countless shards

be careful when handling this heart, as shapeless as it may be

it had no shape, too many holes and cuts to take form, you see?

new scars may cover the old

but every scar has a tale to be told

but no matter how many old scars get covered by the new

the blood that pours out will never subdue!

and endless ocean of tears, with blood raining across the sky

with a grief-filled voice screaming the thunderous words,

" why? why?! WHY!?”

the ocean of tears crashes against the land

carved from long-lost love by thy hand

on that island against the teary sea,

im pretty sure i see a sad face smiling at me

the flowers have wilted, the trees are dead

all that grey fills me with dread!

that person was gone. i blinks once, twice, thrice

to see them again would have been nice!

my own heart tightened with great sorrow

just then waves crashed so high, i don’t think i would see tomorrow!

but no matter the circumstances, ill handle this shapeless heart with great care

i will not ignore the scars that are there

pain was felt with every lash

as my own heart saddened another wave crashed

this hearts pain will not be forgotten

ill make sure of it, for it i have gotten!

"new scars may cover the old

I really like how you write. There is a sense of calmness and I enjoyed reading this poem. I really really think you should continue writing poetry. Thank you :)

Believe it or not, that was the best one I have. I think. That poem is from a while ago, so hopefully I've improved!

Hey! Here for a review!

My first thoughts

It's a really beautiful poem and has great metaphors and feelings. I love your take on the feeling of a broken heart. It is edgy and affecting, in a way the lines make you feel things and feelings that are very vulnerable. The pain of old scars, old memories, and past relations do get covered but never forgotten. I loved the thoughts and pretty much everything. The loss of something or someone, most probably someone is what I am left feeling lingering in my mind after reading this. You said times have been tough for you, I hope things work out for you soon and you find strength<33

The first two lines are just truly gripping. "switching switches" love the alliteration. Great lines to start off the poem.

new scars may cover the old
but every scar has a tale to be told


Simple but really telling and quite beautiful.

Structure and Form

The length of the sentences is just perfect, I like long connecting lines in poetry. The rhyming was actually great and added a quite good flow, I also am a fan of freestyle poems but I really think it depends on the type of poem you intend to write and this was perfect for the rhyming scheme. The small case letters give of the right feel for the poem.

A lil suggestion~ Not much suggestion, I will just according to me this poem would suit well without exclamation marks, like maybe a comma in places where needed.

Overall a very beautiful piece, it was nice reading it:)

Keep Writing👍
-Alice

alright! thank you, but I think I'd prefer it if I kept the exclamation marks. Have a good day!

Hello Hello I hope you dont mind me coming in with a little review. I think you did a good job here I enjoy seeing the rhyme scheme start to unfold. The theme is very relatable as I think everyone has been hurt by someone they cared about at one point or another I also tend to be stuck in the past. I feel you also got the emotions across with the imagery in a nice neat manner however there are a few things I want to point out. Do keep in mind these are just my opinions and by no means need to be taken into account.

Firstly I would capitalize the I's to give it a more polished personal feel this is more a nitpick of mine so feel free to ignore that.

Secondly In this line " their personality is full of endlessly switching switches" switching switches feels a bit redundant perhaps flickering or flipping would work better.

Overall It's a solid piece keep it up and go drink some water!

thank you so much! the review is very valid. And I'm sorry about the typos, I simply uploaded it on another site. I'll fix that immediately.
