I’m illuminated under the lamplight
& if you turn me just right I become see-through
then my heart becomes visible to all.
I don’t wear it on my sleeve, but it still gets scratched and torn.
You banged and bruised me
I’m broken and torn.
I feel like throwing my insides all over the floor
maybe it’ll show you how much I need you.
Like a rubber band I would conform to your every need
but all rubber bands can break if you stretch them too much.
So you pulled at my fingertips
& pushed at my heart
just to see where I’d break first
& then you laughed at my pain.
You struck me.
It hurt worse than lightning
& let me tell you, the burning and sizzling of my heart
is way worse than the physical scorching of my skin.
I feel and that is what I hate about feelings.
Feelings hurt more than a gunshot,
especially mine when you’ve finished gambling with my heart.
Happiness doesn’t exist where tears are more abundant than oceans.
Your smile makes every molecule in my body scatter
abandoning all my common senses
& at the same time binding me tighter, closer together;
like a bowling game the pins are easier to push down
when theyre closer.
I’ve decided I’m going to stop my emotions from running wild,
I’m going to stop my heart.

This is a really unusual poem to read here. It was quite a joy to read. I do suggest that you make the title a little less confusing. But other wise this is good work.

I love this. It's so wonderfully written that I can feel the pain in here. It sucks so much going through this.
I love the way you write. It's so beautiful and the descriptions are wonderful. I can't pick out a favorite part. Brilliant write doll.

"You banged and bruised me

I feel like throwing my insides all over the floor
maybe it’ll show you how much I need you."

BEAUTIFUL. My favorite lines in this whole poem. The first line, hah, I think we've all felt that way. Very relatable. On the second line? Yeah. Definitely 100% truth, and it sucks, because you can't change the way you feel. Third line, love the whole "gambling with my heart". Enough said there. & the fourth line? Love how you refer your tears to the ocean. Amazing :] Keep it up!! ♥ -
