Heart held tightly
in grasp of addiction,
mine to you. . .
You had the power
crush it into powder,
render it useless. . .
and so you did.

'You had the power
crush it into powder'
Gripping phrasing - very beautiful and intense. A little too descriptive of image but still, captivating.
Thanks for entering,

The least cheesy love-related poem I've ever read
Loved this--it could have easily been a cheesefest of cliches, but it wasn't. You made this into something worth giving three stars to! =)
"in grasp of addiction"
A perfect, unique line.
Loved how you used the words power and powder in subsequent lines--their similarity in pronunciation is remarkable.
"render it useless..." (loved the use of the ellipsis, perfect spot for it)
"and so you did."
A perfect, heart-shattering ending.
=)

My heart has broken so many times. i think it is made of glass. Sometimes we end up giving our hearts to the wrong people.

I hated feeling that way, I felt exactly like the last 3 lines in this piece, but its not usless, it did find love again. Good Luck in the contest. your words were vivid and i could see it clearly. nicely done.
