THIS BROKEN HEART: an acrostic

THIS BROKEN HEART: an acrostic


Though you may not remember
How you have bled my heart,
I am just not going to
Show you my gaping wounds.

Before you attacked me and
Rendered me heartbroken,
Only love and bliss I had
Known ever in my life.

Even though I loved you hard,
Never shall I regret
Having turned my back on you;
Enraged so much I felt.

Although I cry, yet I will
Remember you ever.
This I’ll forget never.
