Love On Demand (Shadorma)

by Meme   Jul 4, 2013


Of all the
things you could've asked
me for, it
had to be
the one thing I don't control;
a heart can't be owned.

    Wow... this is a peice of beautiful writing. Yet it is so very true. The way this flowed was like a river beautiful and all in one way. You are right though a heart can't be controled in anyway at all. You can't just choose to give it to anyone you want. I love the description of it though as this person loves you but you can't trust yhem yet thats how I see it at least. Love is a fragile thing that cannot be taken lightly at all. But in the end the heart truly knows what it wants. The way you worded this was amazing as I said. You make the reader wonder who this person is. Does he love you really or will it hurt to give him your heart. Beautiful 5/5

    Meme, you have no idea how this resonates with me, our hearts are the most important yet fragile organ and they are juggled and thrown around like balls of confetti.

    You can't control your feelings, they can't be changed or erased, and our hearts cannot become someone else's while still our own

    This is a tricky form, as it has to flow smoothly and yet still pack a punch in its shortness, you know and you smashed it. You really hit me with this piece, its simple enough to understand while the topic of love is complex.

    Really well penned

    This is brilliant Meme, the form in itself is quote tricky to pull off with the right flow and not have it sounding forced. You got it spot on and also picked something very short and deep that most people will be able to sigh and say "me too" with you.

    Love this :) xx p.s, great title choice :)
