It Didn't End Well
My mind is astir
I wish things could be as they once were.
My heart is drowning in sorrows,
sad for those empty tomorrows.
From high up I fell.
I hit the ground, it didn't end well.
After bouncing off jagged rocks,
with nothing absorbing the shocks.
Numb.. for awhile,
my stomach churned with sickish bile.
I tried to move, but I was stuck;
felt as if I'd been hit by a truck.
My blood oozed and gushed
my mind and soul were shattered and crushed.
I was splintered, broken in two.
I looked up...I looked up to you.
I loved you so much;
I would give anything for your touch.
Your kiss was so warm and tender,
but you had your own agenda.
You betrayed my trust,
now I lay crumpled, broken and bust.
You shoved me.. pushed me from the top,
then walked away and didn't stop.

I liked this one but felt that there could have been another Stanza before the last one.
Anyway it is still OK as is just the one small typo:-You where stood so tall,
The where should be were,
Take care Yours Ian.T

Hi Ian
Thanks for stopping by to read and comment - I appreciate your honesty, especially because I want to improve. I have at least two weaknesses - I'm not very good at titles and I have problems with endings ( writing a poem, for me, seems to flow until I get to the end - so any suggestions would be very appreciated ).
Thanks for pointing out the typo - I'll correct it a.s.a.p
Lovely to see you!

hello Mand
I am sorry it didn't end the way you want. Sounds like "a bad dream" or fiction, I hope.
The pace goes smooth most of time and with nice rhyming.
I see you were an earlier member than I so I'd say welcome back
and hope to read more from your pen.
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Rula
So nice to meet you! Yes, I've been away awhile - Life has been hecktic, but the pace seems to have slowed down ( I'm hoping that's not just temporary ). so I have more time to devote to poetry and reading poetry.
I'm hoping to learn some new techniques etc I like your moto!
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment - any suggestions would be welcomed.
Love Mand xxxxx
