Time of death:
3:44.
When you told me you don't love me anymore.
Place of death:
The park where we met,
on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
I remember the dreaded words which escaped your lips,
the heat in your words,
the look on your face,
as I took a metaphorical bullet to the chest;
it hurt like Hell.
Cause of death:
You.
When you stabbed me in the heart for the first
and last time.
A fatal blow.
But in the coroner's office,
all the report will ever show is:
time of death:
3:44.
Cause of death:
Trauma to the chest.
When your heart gets broken by someone, it feels like you've been struck in the chest. The air feels like it's been knocked right out your lungs and you feel as though you can't breathe. You feel a mixture of emotions all blurred into one mess. You play the final exchange in your head over and over again, and each time it gets harder and harder. Heartbreak. It feels like you've been stabbed in the back and shot in the chest all at once.
MR May 2018
Me dejaste con el cigarro en la mano
Y te desapareciste con el humo
Luego dejaste un vacío
Que nada podía llenar
Me dejaste sin ninguna razón
Quizás fue el hecho que te gustaba otra, y no podías tenernos a las dos
Quién sabe
Sólo se que anoche me escribiste__
En una hora no muy conveniente
Y me dijiste
"Cómo has estado"?
Y pienso yo
Con que descaro
Me escribes algo así
Yo fui peor que te respondí
Cuando se que no te mereces una respuesta
Y lo que más me cuesta  
Es saber que todo el mal que me hiciste
Lo vas a repetir

My first poem in Spanish, my native language
MR May 2018
How far would you go?                                                              ­                            
If you had a family but no job
Three mouths to feed and no money at all                                    

Banks calling but they need to hold on
Huge debts that you need to confront                      
Nobody said life would be so rough
For an honest man who has never done wrong

"Better times will come"
You gave me your word
Trying not to let me down
And showing some self-control

"I'm waiting for my pension my dear love
I hope it comes in time
Cause I'm giving up"
~MR
my dad's response:
beautiful description about how i honestly feel.
desperate, but in control
making a serious effort not to give up
dreaming to have a better future
for all of us.  ~LR
MR May 2018
My dad  used to tell me
Life is like a train, and there are stations everywhere
People come and go
Each one has a role
Some to teach you a lesson, others to help you grow
But the train will never be empty
So don't cry my love
~MR
MR May 2018
And I want to be in solitude
For I want to find myself
No, I'm not going to be lonely
Those words are not the same
I need inner peace
The one I had before you came
I need time to think of my mistakes
  ~MR
