About the Poem

How love can hurt and leave you asking questions, especially when one seemingly loves more than the other.

Heartstrings Are Played Upon

by Hope

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.

I like the analogy if the violin and heartstrings as away of showing a broken heart. this poem should have a star as well.

wow this is awsome. i just broke up with my boyfriend cause i found out in the end he didn't care about me as much as i thought he did. he was lieing to me for the whole month we were together. he told me he loved me and i felt so stupid cause i believed him. Everything said in this poem is exactlly how i felt. this poem is awsome keep up the good work.

Brandi

I 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

damian

this 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.

maria

your poem made me cry ,it fits my current situation like a glove .

Devin

Wonderful Poem. Your Poem = My problem. hit the nail right on the head. This is exactly how I feel right now and its hard to handle since you love the person so much and to think they don't feel the same way. Great Job!
