POEM STARTER

Write a specular poem on heartbreak.

Specular poems are usually two verses long, with the second verse being the first verse repeated backwards to achieve a certain tone. The reversed verse must still make sense.

Lithromanticy, The Drifting Of Hearts

I am broken Not by you Not by anyone I love you I reach for you I think about you daily When I knew you felt the same I was overjoyed We both were We talked And talked And talked The more we did The less love I felt for you I longed for what we had before Not what we have now It has always been this way I have always been this way The thing is You didn’t do a single this wrong My brain is wrong You have always been kind Always said the right things To make me smile There wasn’t a single thing you said that Made me second guess myself I love you I loved you It has always been Iike this I have always been like this Everytime you give me a compliment or say something nice It feels like my heart moves five feet away Until eventually It can’t reach for you anymore I loved you You didn’t do a single thing wrong I have to lie “Bye, love you” I’m in too deep When I’m ready to say I’m tired of this What do I say? What can I say? “I just lost feelings” That is all I’ve ever told anyone It hurts each time I still love each and everyone of them I’m tired
