Relating to those broken-hearted

To all who read this just let me say,
that I know how it feels to be broken hearted,
in every single way.
I know that pain, I know that hurt,
when someone stomps your heart,
right into the dirt.
Someone did it to me recently, and I still can't believe,
that i thought i knew what love was before this,
but  I simply did not see, 
all the emotions involved in the matter,
'till my heart was torn out and my feelings were shattered.
I thought I had it soooooo figured out,
how women thought, what they wanted...again I'm in doubt.
I can't explain the absolute saddness I was in, 
the night she told me she didn't love me and was going back to him.
I cried and cried for hours through the night,
I kept tossing and turning, trying with all my might,
to stop thinking about her........so beautiful is she,
the most gorgeous thing the world could ever bring.
But she is gone now, out of my life.
I really thought she was the one--the one I'd make my wife.
She possessed everything that I have ever dreamed,
she's beautiful, smart, and funny...with eyes of emerald green.
So now I sit all alone in my room, 
hoping love will find its way to me, as I stare up at the moon.
For I long to share my life with somebody like me,
all my experiences, the joy, and the smiles I could bring,
to someone who deserves it and someone that's sure,
that they're ready to love again, and open up that door,
that has been closed for so long because of the pain inside,
someday it will be released, and there will be no reason to hide,
from that monster we call love, that has crushed our hearts, and torn us in two,
TO ALL THOSE BROKEN HEARTED PEOPLE OUT THERE, 
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.........REALLY I DO.
