Heart on my Sleeve

by InvisiblyHeartless   Jul 1, 2008


The world can see it in my lost eyes
Overwhelmingly broken inside, I cry
To retract those moments from life
I feel so emotionally violated by you
My heart in your hands in a moment of truth
Twisting and wrenching in a desolate pain
The beat has stopped, the blood scattered
People who care will remember me tattered
Torn between who you are, and who i love
It started so simple, you were perfect
My time wasted obviously wasn't worth it
Innocently I gave you something fragile
Labeling the box with a cautious warning
You shattered me gracefully to cause my mourning
You taught me something I will always heed
Next time I won't wear my heart on my sleeve

    The way you worded this was very well thought out and helped it along a lot. Your style has a little less structure, but the way you word it and the expressions and ideas used are executed skillfully and pick up the slack, so to speak
