#brokenness poems on Hello Poetry

Relebohile Insha-Asanté Apr 2020

Throughout my life, I have been taught and told about the pain behind the loss and the heartbreak
But never about the pain of wanting to love someone who has been perfectly crafted for you and feeling as if you're unable to feed them the required love they deserve due to the emotional paralysis you are now inflicted with from your inner brokenness and from the world draining and milking whatever feeling or emotion you once had as your heart has now been melted to stone
And that is when you finally come to a realization that you are now left with absolutely nothing due to the oblivion of what it is to love or be loved and if whether or not you are enough.

Raw

I’m shaking
Something radiates from the inward out
It's spiritual but not beautiful
These words aren't even beautiful anymore
I'm just a display
I wish i'd never met you
So this broken spirit could go away
I know i've tasted true love but i've also tasted real pain
Without you i'd never be the same
Never be the same in the way my spirit would not be broken
My heart would be sublimely bent on heaven
You're not real love, all you cause is pain
What your “love’ taught me is not worth the heartache

what has become of us?

'Can you explain to me what has become of us?'
the song continued
as if it was played to hurt me on that evening ride.

'not even pleading can save us'
the lyrics echoed in my mind
it haunted me as I cried myself to sleep

I closed my eyes,
yet thousands of questions deprived me from my sleep
like what happened to the both of us?
can we get back?
did I fail to love you?
did I fail to recognize that we're falling apart?
was I not enough?

But no matter how much songs would I play
no exact lyrics can answer the queries
you've left in my broken soul

progress

today i put sheets on my bed
not a big deal to most
today i picked clothes up off of my floor
not a big deal to most
today i put clothes in the hamper
not a big deal to most
today i washed my blankets and clothes
not a big deal to most
today i washed my hair and face
not a big deal to most
but today i made progress
today i took care of myself
today i broke through two months of brokenness
today i took a step to recovery
today was a big deal to me

haven’t had sheets on my bed in two months. but i cleaned my room and made my bed and felt good.

broken, shattered heart
left on read with tears again
