She’s as beautiful as marble now
and just as cold.
She used to be soft and fragile
giving out pieces of her heart
to anyone who needed it more than she.
They were starving with greed
and she was just so sweet.
She never got any love back
just broken promises and busted lips.
I think she knew what she was doing when she gave that last piece away.
She wanted to stop the hurting
and become as strong as stone.
Her bleeding heart no longer beats
and she’ll cut you down if you ever mourn
that innocent girl she used to be.

It’s sad that something so beautiful can be so devastating.
Thank you, I think we admire strength in others but we sometimes for get the pain they went through to become so strong.
I think many can relate to your beautiful poetry.
Thank you so much! That’s what I enjoy so much about sharing my poetry, connecting with others
This is beautiful! Oh, I sometimes wish I could heartless in some situations, but it’s too hard not to care deeply for some people, even when they don’t deserve it.
There’s a lot of courage and strength in caring for others even after you’ve been hurt, not everyone is strong enough to stay kind in a harsh world
Love can break a soul. Disillusionment. Heartbreak. Like the mending of bones, healing can make one stronger.
Yes healed bones are not as fragile, they are thicker and harder to break through again. Healed from heartbreak, we won’t be the same, we will be stronger.
Ooo! This is such a moving and tragic piece but beautiful even still!! This was a very heartfelt journey to her final state. One can only hope that the future will change for her?? Do we get a sequel on this??? Please!
Thanks for visiting my site! I will look forward to following your posts!
