One sided by Guardian23
The sky can be beautiful,
In it my dreams and future are trapped.
Some paintings may be colourful,
In it my emotions are exposed and kept.
The journey may be long,
Is it really worth taking if it brings me pain?
So many stories are told,
But why do I chose to forget them again?
Their smiles are so bright,
Yet somehow it blinds my eyes.
Their love holds me so tight,
Yet I feel uneasy, like a thief at night.
You promised me the world,
But I'm here seated on my broken dreams.
You said I was a book to be learned,
Yet my heart is still waiting to be seen.
You said I was the one,
I've never hated standing in a line so long.
You said I was your calm,
But I've never witnessed your storm grow cold.
Maybe I was never what you wanted,
Maybe you where never real.
I hate that that you could not finish what you started,
Before my love was all you could steal.
I lay here in misery,
There is no way I could be dreaming.
Our love holds no victory,
Because only one heart bleed to begin with....

A very lovely and moving poem Guardian23. It captures a strong feeling of one-sided heartache and loss, and your choice of metaphors work so well together. It was very interesting to read and the sadness of conjured was appreciated.
I hope we see much more from you.
@Guardian23 The way you've captured the ups and downs of love is so raw and real. And I’m sure many people will relate to it. Keep sharing your words—your poetry really speaks! Also, Welcome to the community <3
@azurePond Hi, and thanks so much, I'm glad to be here. Wrote this piece at a very confusing time as a way to vent. So sending this part of me was an intention to allow others to feel, that's the true power of poetry right there!🫂❤️
@Guardian23 Cheers for sending it over and letting us be part of that moment! Keep them coming – we're waiting for more poems from you <3
