There was a girl with a broken heart
her confidence had been torn apart
so in time she felt she'd lost her soul
and in her life was one big hole

Magnificent. I thought it was beautiful and it really made me stop and think
Mr westlake, this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. It has actually brought a tear to my eye.
I like this poem very much. It descends to the depths in the middle but then ascends to the heights of fulfillment. I admire the character of the Good Samaritan narrator who does not see her as a sexual partner but a fellow human being. It is the wholeness of her life that he is determined to restore. And if I'm reading this correctly, when she finally finds a decent man who loves her, he steps aside. That's agape love. Your poem refreshes the spirit.
This is a lovely poem and wonderful love story. I like the rhyming and the flow. And it shows the importance of caring friendship. Darla :)
I was in the middle part reading I thought you're the one who march w/her thru the altar of marriage.. Maybe you let go of her... ;)
ok P, to MyPoemList it goes.. bye bye. OH! it's still here, on this page. how do 'they' do that? ? yes, i see many 'nice' comments already posted. i suppose i had better be nice also. great rhyming, great story, great surprise when the man who saved her was not the man she married (great especially if you made this up!) , great ending to make every woman cry. not me! ! ! thanks for sharing. :) bri p.s. am i the first male to comment? chris could be christopher, and any name could be fictitious.
This is a quite lovely and abstract piece, clever with a twist. I liked it all
Wow such a beautiful poem. very inspiring and very lovely I absolutely adore your poetry
So beautiful & very touching. Honestly, one of the absolute best poems I have ever read. I look forward to reading all of your poems and I wish you Happy Writings!
Wow, i really like this, reminds me of someone i know. What a great person you are to have helped her through that. Thanks for sharing!
I agree with Noreen, the rhyming here is lovely. On another level though, I'm sure there are so many broken hearted girls out there who wish for this kind of ending. I get the feeling, most of them will get it - I'm being optimistic though. ~Nika
This is a relevant and meaningful poem, and I've known a number of people who have had problems like this but never found somebody like the poet subjective implied to take care of them. I don't know if it's a nice wishing thing or true, but a very good poem. Nothing one might have the urge to tell unless it rhymes.
