Broken-Hearted Four Line Poems- By Haley Parelman

recollection

She was lost in her own personal river of despair.

And he told her he would pull her out.

But when she crumbled at his feet,

He left.



I fell in love with a sad boy,

a sad boy that didn't like to talk.

And me?

I was a sad girl that needed to.



I think she forgot what happiness felt like.

She thought she was happy when she was with him.

That was not happiness.

She was just feeling not so lonely anymore.



I wasn't ready to lose you.

I wasn't ready to lose you because giving my feelings to someone

takes all my strength,

and I wasn't ready to do it all again.



I didn't try hard enough to fix us.

I made him feel like I didn't love him anymore.

Spoiler alert:

I loved him more than I loved myself.



I put everything into fixing us,

And he gave up on me.

“We’re unfixable,” he would say.

He just wasn't willing to try.



I used to saturate myself

with the final feeling left inside me.

And when I felt numb again, I took yours.
