I opened up my heart,
had it spit on.
It felt like
I'm nothing more
than a bad taste
that's left lingering.
When I lifted my eyes
to meet yours,
insecurity flowed.
The day you left
my heart shattered
for the last time.
I closed it off,
kicked you out,
finally became free.

Beautiful poem. The strength of someone to break free from the strings a lover has tied around them is incredible. Especially if they are being caused pain; heartbreak after heartbreak. Sometimes you need to soar alone and catch sight of some landscape that you never saw before. Other times you need a companion to help you fly but perhaps that isn't true. Hmmm. My favorite part was:
"The day you left
my heart shattered
for the last time.
I closed it off,
kicked you out,
finally became free."
Great poem. Really great! I was inspired.
