You taught me the true meaning
behind the word love

the sensation of burning hearts and matching
souls and butterflies and smiling all day without
reason and not having words enough to explain,

of no longer
being your own
to give

you taught me the true meaning
behind the word worry

spending many sleepless nights
in the window-sill, gazing at the silent stars
wishing and wishing and

watching them
fall in
the process

you taught me the true meaning
behind the word pain

tear after tear and scratch after scratch
torn lips and shadowed eyes and watching
you as you drew me closer and pulled me away again

up and down,
forth and back
like a toy

you taught me the true meaning
behind the word broken

my heart throbbing unevenly whenever  you
get close and screaming your name in my head and
feeling like you sucked all the joy out of me and

threw away
the empty
wrapping

you taught me the true meaning
behind the word missing

the feeling there is something just plain wrong
and watching you go on where you left of
without any change, any pain, any sign

you never
needed me
in the first place

you taught me the meaning
of life

thank you
very
much

I love how you repeated the "you taught me the true meaning" parts and then expanded on each thing. Very creative concept, and very excellently executed, I must say. I love the repetition you used because it lends form to the poem without restricting it... This is writing that breathes. :)

One thing -
"up and down,
forth and back
like toy"
Did you mean like a toy?

This is so very lovely. My favorite parts are the descriptions of "love" and "worry," but I love the poem in its entirety.
:heart: :+favlove:

"spending many sleepless nights

Those two stanzas there are amazing :)
They are really emotive, I feel them in my own heart and they also give off some lovely melancholic imagery.
But there's a small typo in there I thought I'd tell you about:
"Window-still" should be "window-sill" - you accidentally put a 't' in there.

"threw away
the empty
wrapping"

Those three little lines also give off a tonne of emotion and the metaphor is just so original and I love it.
Well done with that one, wish I had thought of it myself.

The last little stanza at the end ties it together really well.
So overall this piece is pretty damn good :heart:
