How love can hurt and leave you asking questions, especially when one seemingly loves more than the other.
This poem originally was published in Sad Poems - Sad Love Poems
Heartstrings Are Played Upon
It's becoming more evident Much more obvious to me I thought much more of you Than you ever thought of me Was this my biggest mistake Letting myself think you cared Was I just your marionette With heartstrings open and bared With me left here still thinking What was false, what was true So puzzling and so complex I’m left to await another clue On my heartstings you played Each left with a loving memory Yet I still have those questions Do you ever think about me I’m wondering why all the intrigue Now why all of this mystery Why am I left here hanging Your the one that holds the key. |

ChrisI'm not happy that you were hurt, but I am happy to see that I'm not the only one that feels this way. I'm 20 years old and a student at JMU. I've never wrote poetry before, but lately, I've been really depressed about a girl from home who goes to school in vermont and seems to have forgotten all about me, not even giving me a thank you for the tulips i sent on valentine. The past few days I've found that writing and reading poetry such as this has helped me carry on, even though I'm feeling more and more like I don't want to. Thank you.

BrandiI am 19 and married, I have read many poems. I own many many books of poetry. And I am telling you I have never cried so hard after reading any thing. I am coming to realize my husband married me for security and I know he's sick and enjoys playing on my heartstrings, Thank you for helping me put my pain into real words. I was wondering if you minded if I could print this and frame it? Brandi

damianthis is a great poem and i totaly understand what is beeing said but for those who are exsperiancing all this at the moment it is not allways that you are being used but that they fear love and dont know how to exsept so if there is any doubt that this person is not just pulling heart strings try a diffrent approach we never realy know how someone else feals until we feel them as a person good luck.
