Broken Eyes

Broken Eyes Poem

His eyes bleed into my heart

Jolting me to see the wounds

I have caused and struggle to heal.

His body said one thing

But his soul said another.

To see his spirited scattered

Across the floor of his heart

Broke my resolve and

Put it back together

Twice as strong.

Support my writing by becoming a patron!

    Aw, such an emotional and heavy piece! This reminds me of two exes who broke up due to the relationship not working out even though they continued to love each other then seeing each other for the first time. Thank you for sharing xx

    This made me so emotional! It reminds me a lot of the poetry I wrote when I actually.. wrote poetry. I haven’t picked that up in so long, but you’re inspiring me to do so again.

    What a beautiful poem. It’s really striking and authentic. You can definitely visualize the situation of two lovers going through a difficult situation.

    Jaya! This poem is lovely and it has a spot in my heart. It reminded me of how we are most times when we are going through one challenge or the other we act like everything’s fine but our soul says different and deep down we know we are a complete wreck. This poem spoke to me in so many different ways some in which I can’t even put down. Just like every one of your poems, I loved this and it really spoke to me. Beautifully written x

    There is a sharpness to the first lines that bring out your point, and some firmness of resolve at the end. A nice poem and I like the way you have constructed it 🙂

      Thank you! I find poems with a little bit of angst and truth in them are often difficult to put together but come out beautifully.
