I Take Back My Tears MAG
September 5, 2008
I take back my tears
the wasted years
I spent crying
for what never could happen
I take back my heart
my shattered heart
Up off the ground
and back in my arms
I take back my hope
wasted on you
and toss it aside
for it has no meaning now
Nothing you say
no words
no songs
can heal the bleeding wound
That you opened again and again
I walk a free woman
held by nothing of yours
and fly away free
as free as the wind
© Ankaret E., Brampton, England

I kind of like this. I feel like I've read this poem before, many times, however. A tiny bit cliche? It pretty good though.

I feel your passion & although it's full of anger I feel a calmness in it; as if you're at peace. Good job =)

Excellent poem. The rhythm is so soft and serene, although the speaker is angry and feels hurt. I especially like the third stanza.
