impersonal heart

Don’t give me tears

Over a dead body that you watched be killed

You take many forms, beautiful

But helpless was never one of them

And I’ll always hate you for that

Stick with your impersonal heart

Because that will take you farther than your legs ever could

You broke my back like a twig snapped in half

While stroking my face saying ‘kiss me again’

I should have listen to my veins when they said

“Don’t look at me, but don’t believe a thing that comes from your head”



My heart was like road kill

Of course you stare at it

But god forbid you touch it

And if tomorrow you should fall in love with me

I’d probably die right there in that moment

Trading bodies, on the other side of the glass

Revenge can be so sweet

This is amazing!
I really like it!
You should keep writing!
I can feel how you feel!
And even if I didn't have these empathy problems...that I would be able to feel all the emotions in this poem!
Again, I love this and think it's great!
