WOUNDED.....................!!

moving on.

 

 

 

 WOUNDED!....................................

Sitting here engaged in conversation
With a glass of brandy on the rocks
My new found comfort companion
Trying to get over the shock

As I cry, it whispers ‘it’ll be alright’
As it slides passed my trembling lips
To mingle with the liquor, oh what a night!
Tears drip slow, my tummy’s in a knot

I look out at the moon, tears make it shimmer
Oh, well, what the hell! here I am again
Trying to forget but I still remember
You’re gone. That’s the gist of it all


I took the risk, then took a hard fall
A whirlwind of thoughts swirl in my head
I should get on with my life, but I’m so numb
Feelings cut deep from the things you said


I fought to hold on, but now I feel dumb
Your love was never real, just a mirage
You played the role and I played the fool
So, here’s a toast to the fool I was

And another,  to healing as time passes
As I remove these rose colored glasses
I'm wrapping my wounds and scars
Hearts can break, but also heal again

Yeah, we've all been there! Loving someone you know better to love and even sometimes feeling the fool (and not caring) even during the relationship. Great visuals, great expression!

Yes it hurts us emotionally and physically but we learn so much from our moments of solitude. I must say that from my last relatioship, I learned that when we are not really getting what we deserve as women we tend to be in even more pain when that relationship is done. Almost like it was a waste of time.

Yet we as women, the emotional beings we are, still find it a hard pill to swallow when we feel that we have failed. There are some women who find some reason to make the breakup their fault. In the end we learn to move forward with time but almost all breakups make us feel the same way.

Amazing piece.

That was great you're image of a broken heart and the use of rose colored glass was on point. broken hearts will heal in time but don't let it harden because you may miss the one just for you.

Great Write

Very well written and so wonderfully penned of a heartbreak inside.

Im a sucker for honest reflection piece's, and this has an appropiate title WOUNDED. See cause I'm starting to think that these emotions, and ups and downs we go through are really just test runs for the true race ( A long lasting loving relationship). And this piece speaks on one of those downs, but your only wounded so you'll be back up before you know it...

Empress, I like this poem because it captures the reality of what a woman goes through when her heart has been shattered and wounded by the lies and deception of a man. It was very emotionally charged and I could sympathize with the pain of the character. Very well put together.....great piece!
