Broken love

Loving them at the last

Was like crawling over broken glass.

Working our way on bended knees

Attached to them we beg and plead.

I knew of such a soul so well 

In the darkness she did dwell,

Caught in the weakness of despair 

Her tears and pain I heard in there.

In the shadow of her room

She huddled in her lovelorn doom,

She felt the pain of love lost

Fell for someone and paid the cost.

I hoped that she would just stay strong

For as time starts to pass along,

It would get easier overtime

And learn to find self love sublime.

But I knew this was not to be,

She would take him back you see

And let him control and manipulate again

Put her through another round of pain.

She did not realise she was worth lots more

And that she should not open up her door,

And allow him to walk right in

She the door mat, over her he would be walking.

I think that she was confused about love

Because she did not love herself enough.

And because she yearned to be cared for,

She would give anything to be adored.

But as she sat alone in gloom

In the privacy of her room,

She did not realize that I loved her so

In a way she would never know.

I felt her pain as I heard her cry

Felt her heartbreak as if it were mine.

In that gray dark place where she reminisced 

About a broken love like this.

    Such a touching poem, I can feel the frustration of the narrator. It always saddens me to hear about women who can’t escape from their abusers. Sometimes it’s not just because they don’t love themselves but also because they don’t want to displease their abuser. They’re innately a people pleaser. It’s not always easy to just kick people out of your life even if you have to.
