From Ribs To Heart

Sunday morning – try to find a bed to wake up in.
As quick as distortion running, as hurting or hunting;
Pirates travel the sea; you travel my heart –
Hands cutting and pulling and tearing apart.

One Lucifer – one clean start – I am over it,
Already – an answer to a question barely asked:
Am I yours? Am I thick and thin, a scary grin –
A harmful echo, a shadow, a sin…

To be sick again – only a heart knows
If the wind is worth the rain. A heart is red,
Like a blood stain. But blood can be blue;
Like a hope for pain.

Chemical poison – only a heart knows –
The way of the love, the way that it shows
Clearly, specifically (like crystal) how to hate,
How to grow, how to know the difference

Between right, wrong and both.
Could enough be enough when it isn’t nearly
Enough? Carefully scaring my heart –
Hating pain as easily as eating it up…

Like a bad taste and a bad start.
I have no heart. If you dig me a grave –
Break my ribs…. To find what I always said:
Nothing there, nothing red.

Please tell me what you think

    I like the name of your entry. I also like the way you rhyme the last two lines of each stanza; it's an uncommon style of rhyming, but very refreshing. However, I found the pacing of the piece to be quite distracting. If you're going to rhyme, you need to at least keep the rhyming and non-rhyming lines at equal syllable count. I also suggest studying iambic pentameter. The emotion here was good though, which is what was most important.
