Trying

maybe he never loved me at all

He doesn't love me anymore, 

I've got no one else to turn to. 

Tell me, now I'm so alone,

What am I supposed to do?

I've got wounds aplenty,

and I barely sleep at night. 

Maybe the bags under my eyes, 

will tell you how I've been cast from the light.

I've been broken many times before,

but now all I am is a hollowed out shell. 

Watching him thrive now that I'm gone, 

is some kind of personal hell. 

So tell me how I'm supposed to escape, 

when I am but a broken doll trying to fix herself with tape?

Your poetry is so sad. When I read this it really hurt my heart, and I think it hurts so much because it's easy to relate to. I really wish I could help you feel happy, I have an obsession with helping people who feel bad. It's a great poem though, not many poems can make me feel like s**t after reading it. I love reading your poems. And also, I love how you say your a broken doll trying to fix yourself with tape.

Your writing brings back all the angst of my teen years. It's like reading pages from my old diary.

This is very moving and well expressed, it is never a pleasant feeling to feel unloved and rejected and I think you captured those feelings very well.
