Hearts left broken
Unassisted
Growing sharp thorns
Becoming twisted
Warmth dissipated
Icy hearts
Fisted
Striking out
All traces
Of the
Love that
Existed
Hurt
Then brought pain
To loves domain
Revisiting
Its losses
While
Dispelling
Its gains
Lonely and confused
Love left
Abused
and
Beaten down
With memories
Of being misused
Blind and stumbling
Along paths
Of deceit
Love finally
Found hope
In a heart
That still beat
With warmth and caring
Dreaming dreams
Worth sharing
This heart opened
It’s door
Saving love
From defeat

Either way, another thought and emotion provoking write from you poet. Respect. [-]collapse
I read this two ways, both still leaving room for hope in love...One being you losing your heart to someone but realizing that if you look deep and long enough, your heart is still in tact and the other way being that someone elses heart, losing it but with the last stanza almost made it seem as tho you finding love by someone else giving you their heart, which now belongs to you...sort of like a new beginning...enjoyed this in every way
"Lonely and confused
Love left
Abused
and
