Express Yourself in Verse

Heartbroken

By Sarah Guessmi_ 2nd Arts_Dar Chabaane Sec. School

 I can never resist your temptation

To me, you’re a sample of perfection

My heart is weary… It's love and infatuation

What I’m feeling is true

But you seem to have no clue

That your love for me is the sweetest coup

I remember that night, while sitting in the park

You said your daily life was a bit dark

And that for YOU I was the first spark…

Or that night when we were in the car

You said you just wanted to shine like a star,

Take me away and never look back on your scar

Far… Far away into space

You would hide me in the safest place

Your heart would be our airspace

Years passed by… But I never forgot your face

Before I met you again, I was like a hopeless case

My life was like an exhausting race

My heart was aching

My hands were shaking

My soul was fading

Your face haunted my dream

You never looked when I tried to scream

All in pain, I lost my self-esteem

My love for you was mad

I was good but I felt so sad

To see those who stole you from me glad

I was lost, but your voice was the sound

That always guided me around

Telling me “in your heart, peace can be found”

Now, you’re gone and I pretend not to care

Looking strong, but I am in despair

Into your photos, I always stare

 Here I am…Packing all my stuff

Leaving those who made my life rough

Going away, travelling… the world is vast enough
