Attachment Issues - A Poem

@HopefulSprings That is very powerful writing, I can feel your emotions there. I hope that things work out for you. I can see that writing is a good outlet at this time. Have you written any more?

@MistyMagic yeah I have one more. I’ll share later. He broke up with me last night

@HopefulSprings I'm so sorry to hear that :(

Listening - One Step At A Time!

@MistyMagic

All I can do is breathe

I can’t feel anything

But the pain.

Knives pinched in my insides.

Bleeding on the inside

Yet walking like nothing is happening.

No one can see how bad

These feelings are.

Never good enough

Never deserving of

Sweet touches.

Sinking and drowning

Tears of pain

Heartbreak

Sorrow.

I laid my heart out,

Wore it on my sleeve.

You said I was an awesome person

You made me feel like I was worth something.

Now I’m falling.

Gave you my heart

And it is bruised.

There was nothing

I could have done to stop this

Trainwreck.

You would have found a way out.

I’m never good enough.

Always going to be alone.

You made me feel

Happiness and like

I could be at peace.

Just as easy

Ripped away

And all that’s left is

This intense feeling of no self-worth.

I lost myself in you

I don’t know how to be happy

Without your validation

And your companion.

How much of us

Was me?

Did you mean any of what you told me?

Was it just a ploy to be a good guy?

I’m trapped with all these doubts

Feelings and

I can’t get answers.

Of course, you tell me what I want to hear.

I’m broken,

Lost and sinking.

I’ll never risk love again.

@HopefulSprings Wow, I am so sad at your situation, I know from my own experiences how painful lost love can be, it really crushes and your poem captures that and flung me right back to those times. I hope that you gain strength from those powerful words, you really do have a talent for picking exactly the right word to engulf a feeling. I wonder what you might do when along the way you are feeling other emotions and can share a poem with us.

There is that wonderful words that says. . . but it may be too soon for you to feel that, I really hope you do risk love againand never stop taking that risk.

Hey, hope you're doing well...

Those are beautiful lines. Every line felt like a pang of pain to me, cuz I felt the same. The same crushing feeling. You described it very beautifully.

Hope you come out stronger dear... You're not alone, we all are with you🤍
