OK, I decided to post a poem here
. One of my first ones so yeah... hope that you like it.
Slamming Doors and broken hearts
Slamming Doors and broken hearts
Pounded pillows torn apart
Hate and words, no understanding
All the while calm silence reigns
Dignity and stubbornness are ever present here
If ever I have felt this hurt, I have never known
My world has just been torn apart, a perfect day in ruins
Tatters of a former time where peace would reign supreme,
Memories of that former life, slip beneath, unseen
My anger pours out, pain made real
In tears I can’t control
Caught in the middle, it’d just not fair
Whatever are the chances here?
But In my heart I can’t make peace as the other party has
No concern, impassive face, I really do not know
Slamming Doors and broken hearts
Pounded pillows torn apart
Hate and words, no understanding
After that Calm silence reigns
