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 think this poem shows huge emotion behind. It conveys countless emotions in just a few words.

I can totally relate to this poem! I liked this guy for a year, told him I liked him, and cried about what I wish could've been, and then finally, stopped obsessing over him. Great poem though!!
