Like A
June 15, 2014
Like
A bullet through my heart
Death on a rainy day
A wart on my pinky
The aftermath,
It never goes away.
Your eyes
Like lasers
Sear a hole
Through my chest
You hurt me
Because
I love you
And you don’t love me (back)
The sound of your voice
Is not loud enough
To stop me from
Thinking about how
I.
Want.
Your.
Hands through my hair
On my shoulders
On my breasts
On my neck
I look back
And wonder why
I let
Lovely
Become
I love
And made my heart hurt
Like
A bullet shot
Right through it.

I love the part about letting lovely become I love. That was my favorite part of the poem. I feel like this a very relatable piece and beautifully done. Is there a reason that back is in parentheses? Fabulous! 5/5
