Au Contraire mon ami

The adorable
nickel ball bearings made
such a pretty little pattern on
the outsides of the beautiful heart
you were so kind to give me the other day
it really was quite nice a gift to share but
too bad i forgot to mention my emotions
happen to be fairly magnetic in nature
and as it was just a shell to cradle my
fragile and too easily bruised heart
now whenever i feel hurt it is
always compounded by the
slowly growing inversions
forming ever so slowly
elongating inward
straining to touch
that place you
inhabit within
piercing me
the spines
of your
love
work
and
strive to
lead me into
the negative of
the life
that
they
own
and
seek
to convert
me into one of the
impaled
souls
that
they
each
represent
and
as
my
resistance
fails me
so
do
i
