I Take Back My Tears MAG
September 5, 2008
I take back my tears
the wasted years
I spent crying
for what never could happen
I take back my heart
my shattered heart
Up off the ground
and back in my arms
I take back my hope
wasted on you
and toss it aside
for it has no meaning now
Nothing you say
no words
no songs
can heal the bleeding wound
That you opened again and again
I walk a free woman
held by nothing of yours
and fly away free
as free as the wind
© Ankaret E., Brampton, England

amazing poem, but i thought the last stanza was a little bit... cliche. mostly just the "free as the wind" part. the rest was awesome.

This poem is perfect. I love it. It reminds me of what happened between me and a guy. Exactly.

Wow, this is really deep. I think this poem is absolutely beautiful, everything you said. I especially loved how you said, "I walk a free woman...as free as the wind." Great job on this. Could you check out some of my work? Thanks!
