Some would call me cyborg,
For my heart has titanium...
Yet I am human in shape,
And no doubt in form.
My heart, if we shall talk more about,
Is the heart of a human.
With veins, and arteries,
And blood being pumped.
It is what gives me life—
It is what keeps me alive.
Now let me tell you more about this heart...
This heart of a certain human.
...
I was mad that night, because of you...
I tried to forget about everything.
Yet despite all I did, you spoke to me
And gave me that yellow ring.
Reluctantly I surrendered
And wore it in front of you.
I hugged you tight and wished,
For once, to never let you go.
I was sad that time you hurt me
When you were far away.
You fed me lies and told me
Everything would be okay.
So I broke down and cried,
While you left me alone in my room.
I waited and waited for you to come back,
Yet hope was my only companion.
I could never forget that one time
You made my smile so real.
I keep recalling the memory
That I just wanted to feel.
...
Those instances in my life
Which are very very few—
They all happened, I should tell you,
Because my heart is true.

I enjoyed reading this poem, it's beautiful! You really wanted to show us feeling often used. You did show us but in a completely different way and that's refreshing!
Well done!

Wiw, this is beautiful, expressive, and truthful, I love the storylike quality you lent to this. Great work!

This was very good. I enjoyed each little piece where you described how your heart felt something, despite being titanium. What impressed me the most was your age. To be that young and expressive! Well done!

its a very intriguing write.. you start with a cyborgs heart but end up with a broken woman's heart.
i could see the relation and could relate to what this write express. i just feel this write is incomplete.. a poem of three short poems.

Is this really your heart that you are talking about.
