I used to hear the angels sing whenever you were near

now I’m locked in silence

imprisoned with tears of sorrow and pain

feelings of regret

I used to feel a warm glow when our eyes met

our thoughts we shared

with promises of love, you’d always be there

the day came when you no longer cared

what did I do? what did I say?

to make you feel that way

the pain lies heavy in my heart

a lump rises in my throat, my eyes fill with tears

the world is so dark and gloomy

I’m so alone

why did you leave?

you shattered my heart

I loved you….

I’m sharing this poem that I wrote when I was in high school. I was feeling really sad about something that was happening in my life and needed a creative outlet. I hope you all enjoy it!
