The dagger you put into my heart.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

The dagger you put into my heart.

I loved you for many years yet with your dagger, you stabbed me in the heart, ripping it apart. The words you speak cut me deep. You stole all my emotions, making me weak. In the mirror, I look and can see the true reflections of your double-edged sword, cutting all our connections. But in my heart, there is a place forever reserved. But for you, I have no more words. She has stolen a broken heart, and she is not very smart.

Wow, this poem really conveys powerful emotions and heartache. The imagery of the dagger, the cutting words, and the stolen emotions is so impactful. The repetition of the theme of being torn apart really drives home the pain of betrayal.

One suggestion for improvement could be to explore more depth in the emotions and consequences of the heart being torn apart. Maybe delve into the aftermath of healing and moving on from the betrayal, or finding strength in the broken pieces. This could add another layer of complexity to the poem and elevate it even further. Overall, great job on such a moving piece! Keep writing and exploring your emotions through your words. more »
