Heart Unchained

by The Queen of Spades   Feb 1, 2007


The moment you touched me
You destroyed me
And swiftly took my breath away
When you looked at me
I trembled
The earth below me began to shake

The instant you loved me
I broke into pieces
And it tore me all apart
Then when you kissed me
I was set aflame
Burnt away became my heart

But when you left me
I stood still
Calm in a malevolent world
I did not understand
How I thought so clearly
When I wasn't anymore "your girl"

The moment I see you
Though, I'll remember
All how you affected me
But now we're over
And it is better
Because now my heart is free

    Nicely written. I liked it. The emotion within was very good. The flow as well as structure was good. Keep up the good work.

    Peace, Joe

    I liked this. It was a touching piece, yes emotional but not in the desperate teenage way most love poems are on here, it was deeper, more meaningful.
    The first two stanzas, and the start of the third were incredible, perfect wording, wonderful flow and meaning.
    However, on the last couple of lines and the final stanza it was lost.
    I think it was the flow that slipped and so the ending of the poem wasn't as strong as it could have been.
    Also, forgive me, but I did think it was a bit abrupt to say it's better to be alone so your heart can be free after saying how heartbraking it was in the previous stanzas. It didn't see believable to me.
    It was certainly a good attempt though. More of the first couple of stanzas would make this a fantastic piece of work.
    Thanks for sharing.

    p.s. oh and punctuation aids the flow a little in most cases too.
