That Pain

Maxie 1984 (Rizal)



I have a heart that once was true
But blinded by love, I innocently gave it to you;
I hoped faithfully that you'll be glad,
I never expected you'd treat it so bad.

I gave you my heart with innocent youth,
I didn't knew then that you're such a brute;
I hoped for you to give me joy, not despair,
With my heart broken beyond repair.

I've loved you & treasured you as if you're a gold
But so heartlessly, you left me out in the cold;
I've loved you so honestly, so faithfully, so blindly,
And now here I am... sad, blue, broken & lonely.

About this poem

Wrote this when I was in high school, about 20-plus years ago. Inspired by my 1st broken heart. It makes me smile now but it was torture back then.

Maxie

Mom of 3. Poetry is my first love and have written a lot back when I was in high school... and then, life happens. Ideas and rhymes dried up. But the other day I was going through old stuff and found my collections of poems that I've written back in the day. Hoping to share an immortalize them especially for my kids. So that they'll know mommy was really cool once :D more…
