A Heart With Nowhere To Go 

Mind sent in all directions
A verse here and there
Many open ended poems 
Are scattered everywhere

At the incompletion stage
On hold from yesterday 
Entangling with emotions 
Where knots seem to stay

I am unable to fill the void 
Emotions go to and from
My heart feeling shattered
In failing to reach someone

A heart with nowhere to go
Each verse is falling apart
Obviously he had forgotten
His silence broke my heart

Sadness Follows Despair 

As the sadness drags on 
Heart aches still persist 
I am choking back tears 
My gut continues to twist 

I kept my sadness secret
No one need ever know
Aching happens silently
I'm alone when tears flow

Sadness follows despair 
Spiralling into the dark
Glow fades into oblivion
Downhearted loses spark

My pain was felt internally 
As you ripped me apart
Scarred by your rejection 
Descends my broken heart
