A Promise To Be Broken

Poem By: XBrokenHeartedX
Young Adult


Ok this is another one of my "deep" poems, like A Crippled Rose was. This I'm not writing with any inspiration. I'm just writing about two loved ones falling apart. View table of contents...

Hopelessness runs down my cheeks stained with tears

Acceptance was so easy, yet now so hard to find even though there is everything in the world to hold onto

I held your hand for much too long and now I can’t find the heart to let go

I don’t want to let go

I want to hang on forever and forever even though our hands have become sweaty and are slipping, slipping into the oblivion beneath in which we so gladly came out of

Because of you

Because of you

I am not alone

I am not somebody else in hope of finding out who I truly am because I know who I am

I am me

Me

And you complete me.

Together.

It feels like rain

Hard cold rain that burns my skin with every touch and I cannot move, I cannot get out of it

And this pain

This pain

It just keeps returning over and over and over again just as strong as it had before

And you an make it end

End

But our hands are no longer held by one another

A single finger

A single thread

Holds us together, holds us apart

And I know for a reason that it was meant to be this way

That we were meant to be away

And that thread breaks and we are both lost

Lost by the judgments

The unaccepted

The hate and cruelty of our ripped up world laying in scraps around the universe

Because we are broken

And so my world falls

Falls down with me

Into nothing

And I know that I should let go

To be strong enough to be able to let go of something I’ve wished for my whole life, dreamed of to come and rescue me from my chamber of defeat

But I can’t let go

I don’t want to ever let go

And so you let go for me

Knowing that it was better

But know that a piece of my heart will always be hanging on that broken thread

Waiting

Waiting for our world to piece itself back together so that maybe, just maybe we can be together again

AAAAAWWWWWWW that made me feel so sad and hoppeful It was sch a perfect balance beetween the two. This was A great poem!The emotion in this one was stronger than your others i think.

Aww thanks so much Joanna! I'm so glad that you liked it:) Ha Ha really? I thought that A Crippled Rose was deeper, but I'm glad that you thought this one was! Thanks again J.

I could actually hear this as a song!...I like it, and it would be great for song lyrics....I imagine with the sound of like screamo or something along those lines, but with industrial passion...that's just what I like, but still-it is very good :)

Hmm...I kind of see that too! Ha Ha thanks so much RaisinGirl, I'm glad that you enjoyed it:D

wow i realy like it. its way better then any of my stuff. but in line 5 i think it might sound better to say forever and ever instead of forever and forever.

I said forever and forever? Ha Ha I didn't notice, but thanks for pointing it out! Thanks also for reading and commenting. I'm glad that you liked it SQUEEGEE:) Ha Ha

Ha Ha ok thank you! I'm glad that you like them this deep, I will try to keep writing in this style. Thanks so much for reading and commenting, I appreciate it:D

Wow, you should really publish your poems into a book. Also, you're poem reminds me of Wuthering Heights. I don't know if you know the story or not. Although, you might know the Twilight way of putting it. Although I love Stephenie Meyer, she just didn't get the true meaning of what the original characters had. In Wuthering Heights, these characters can't be separated, they are together. As said by one of the characters, "He is my other half. He is my soul." I totally understand everything that you're saying in this. I really enjoyed it, and can't wait to hear about other new poems you write. Also, you should read Wuthering Heights, it might be very inspirational for you.

Ha Ha yes I've read Wuthering Heights. I read it last year for a book report, and I really enjoyed it. I actually picked it for my book report after hearing about it in Twilight, lol:) Yeah, I guess I can see where it would remind you of that. Thanks so much Marionette! :D

Hey BrokenHearted :) I really enjoyed this poem! It has a great lyrical quality about it and your phrasing really makes it a smooth read. I look forward to reading more from you. Take care, Regan

Ha Ha thank you so much! I am so glad that you enjoyed it:)

:) you let go of my hand because you were strong zoe. and i do thank you for that. *sigh* dam.n threads! ha ha truthfully? zoe this is probably the best poem that you've ever written in your entire lifetime. before when you had your moments in the beginning of 7th grade, your poetry was super deep, but u put more emotion in this than in any poem i've read by you. really great:)

Mathew, I knew that you would have done the same thing with me, to put me out of the pain. And I thank YOU for that:) Yes, those stupid threads just keep ripping apart don't they? We need to fix that! I'm glad that you liked reading it Mathew, I thought that you might like this one. And yay! Ha Ha I'm glad it was deep, kind of my goal:D Thanks again.

Wow that was amazing! I agree with Marionette you should totally publish your poems into a book. But really that was like one of the best poems I've read on here so far. Great job!

Thanks!

zoeeeee this is sooooo saaaaad *wipes tear off cheek*
but i love it :)
haha
mmk i have some critique: watch out on your diction. there were parts you slipped into a more 'juvenile diction' in the poem. to me, it took away from the serious tone and mood. it made me frown and think, hm. i bet theres a better way of saying that. examples of this were the hands become 'sweaty' ---i understand the message you want to get across but... iuno, to me, sweaty takes away from the mood. it doesnt have that poetic connotation, if you know what i mean. 'ripped up world' did give it a strong punch but it also had that diction to it. those were the main two that seemed distracting for me.

okay but stepping aside from those nit picky details i totally loved it :D very, very, VERY emotional and pulled me right in.

keep it up hon! ^^

Thanks!

"And so my world falls

Falls down with me

Into nothing

And I know that I should let go"

*sobs* But i can't... This is too much after your novel.. 'Echoed'. x[

Love, love, love, this thing that stings to the deepest point of our hearts.

Once again, LOVE IT! lol

"Because of you

I am not alone

I am not somebody else in hope of finding out who I truly am because I know who I am

I am me

Me

And you complete me." ='[
