1/100 [17] Networked Poetry & Prose Title: Broken Hearts... Date: Tue Oct 19, 1993 21:32:25 (9 days old) Origin: Charon's Boat (Washington) [509-926-0155] From: Kylis Noren #106 @1509015 VirtualNET Broken hearts and shattered dreams Happens to me a lot it seems An endless cycle of despair It seems no one really cares Sometimes. A closed heart, it seems to be Is my only defense from me When I open up some more The world quickly slams the door Hurting. We've known each other for a while Now it will hurt when I see your smile For I thought I knew you fairly well But now I'm trapped in my lonely hell Dying. You know that we will stay friends For true friendships have no ends I made my heart as clear as glass Now the hurt inside me will pass Slowly....... I'm over the pain, but not completely The fire smoulders and my heart beats weakly The haze is gone, and clear are my eyes What I felt for you is gone from our lives Completely. But the effects of this event The aftershocks I can't prevent They will never really go away And I will always find it hard to say Truthfully. Because this has happened before It's happened so many times before And I'll never recover from anyone It's hard to believe that I've never won Honestly. I've tried before and always been hurt So many times been made to feel like dirt I always seem to find the one who Will always, without fail, say no Destroying. And now that it's over, now that it's done I hope that someday I will find the one That won't say no, that won't turn away That will actually want me to say "I love you."
