My Heart's Not Broken....... (poem) by Diana Wiles on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on July 1, 2022

The feeling of betrayal. I know it well. I have no time for players, lairs and users. Never be with someone not willing to protect your heart better than they protect their own. It reminds me of the line of a poem I wrote.

When I gave her my heart I could feel it crack,
And there is something about a broken heart
That makes you not want to take it back.

This poem tells me you were hurt by someone you trusted, but you had the strength and resolve to move forward. Always seek out the sun and like a flower you will begin to thrive.

The years we shared are all gone now.....powerful words indeed. Be careful though, somewhere in those years are things you really don't want to lose, not shared with him, but things that could be lost with a wholesale blackout of time past.

That said I note from your timeline of poetry that you were pretty inactive here in 2013. Me too. Different reasons I imagine. Workin' on it. Patrick

Methinks the lady doth protest too much...
You should have flipped him that token like you were flipping him the bird
Then walked away without a word.
(But I do love the Meryl Streep and the meter maid jabs)

I think the form, the one long stanza and the line break choices of this poem are excellent, Diana. I especially like the colorful descriptions given the 'other woman,' "Have your white-haired lady, your ancient Meryl Streep,". Those two lines popped right off the page with originality, as did "Naive old Meter Maid...." There is something extra inside a poem that contains specificity as this. I feel the deep sound of a clanking-shut metal door, by the time I finished reading. And then it finishes with an element of confidence moving into the light. Very good writing, Diana ~~ Diana

From all your writings I have previously read, you are not one to be taken advantage of. No, you are kind, gentle, sweet, and loving...one who has much to offer. One day--perhaps very soon--he will realize what could have been. But then he'll realize it's way too late, for you have stood up to his uncaring ways. Stay brave, dear heart.

Hugs,
