Heartbreak.
May 21, 2011
He said we’d be together forever.
He’d promised me the world, told me I had his heart always. He gave it to me along with his ring, promising to marry me and make me that happy forever.
We lived together, happy for a while. But then Life caught up with us.
His job kept him away from home, and my education kept me from household chores. I couldn’t find a job and his stress kept growing. Things were getting strained.
His father was pushing us farther apart, testing our bond. I thought we’d out last him, prove we were strong and what we had was worth protecting. I was wrong.
We’d had a fight, but were getting better. Things improving, and moving back to where they were. I called him with good news, only to get bad news.
We were over.
Heartbroken, I gave his ring back and moved out.
It’s time to move on now, but my heart doesn’t want to.
Hello Kristel. Your poem is very heart moving. The tender nature of a girl’s heart and the deep feelings associated with it- you have described them very beautifully in your words. Also it instantly reminded me of a couple who used to live in dubai, my distant relatives who had the same story in real as described in your poem. I am linking your poem to the girl by mail, hoping that it would help heal her heart. Great writing.
