Have you ever questioned your?

Question

"Worth"

I said I would change,

but you

did not

believe.

My heart

crafted to

the sound

of your own.

When did our song

die?

When did I fall

from your eyes,

becoming

the earth you walk on,

instead of the fire

burning in your heart?

Drinking wine

fermented from ashes,

the lingering kiss

on my lips

erasing words I said.

This time,

I must stand.

...you were once

worth heartbreak.

Answer 1

The last two lines are very powerful. They were once worth your pain, now you are stronger than the force they had over you, time to stand on your own. Great job, I really like this one!

Answer 2

wow, powerful.  I wish I had had a copy of this to give my ex-husband...your last two lines are devastating!  Bravo.

Answer 3

Beautiful, yet sad.

Answer 4

Well said.  The third stanza really strong.  My only critique which is more of a personal preference is do you need the last two lines?  My compliments on this irregardless of that.

Answer 5

i have said words that she erased.

(i liked your line, 4th stanza)

and i actually loved when she stood.

..makes a good fire.

if i heard those last 2 lines

it means you forgot something major!

Answer 6

This is excellent in my opinion. Begging for acceptance and being mashed further and further into nobody...

Yes. This time "you" must stand!

Answer 7

Kudos.

Answer 8

This one is on Mary Murphy's "Hot Tamale Train!"
