Overflowing

Tearing out sheets,

three holed rippings, dangling pieces

which once held poetry,

written for you

Crumbled in my hand,

now paper wads for tossing

 

Torn from my notebook

of emotioned phrases

Margined scribbles

in affectionate ink

Verses, fancy words

in multi-colored cursive

 

Handwritten dreams,

promises and wishes,

sincere thoughts in straight lines,

testaments of deep feelings

that you threw away,

and now so do I…

 

 

My wastebasket is overflowing,

I wish my heart were too

When the wastebasket is overflowing the heart usually is as well, it is just overflowing with negativity rather than positive energy... However, the negative emotion can be transformed into an opportunity to0 start clean with a new book of poetry and binders unclogged with chaffing shreds...
I like how easily I was able to see the character of the write.
Simplicity can yield a complex conveyance.
Well done.

I think a lot of us have felt this. I like the metaphores .
Not everything we write is fully appreciated. Putting your heart felt feelings onto paper is hard. To have them thrown away is so painful.
A brilliant piece of poetry.
