I love our colored pictures,
Even though my eyes only sees the shades of gray.
I love where your seed planted itself,
In the bottom of my spine,
In the crevice of my tailbone,.
There you are wrapped up
In wrinkled Christmas wrapping
And lay there,
Waiting for Christmas morning.
I love how your ribbons are
Buried
In the marrow of my bones.
I unconsciously carry you,
Or do you carry me?
I love it when I don’t think about you,
Because you still grow.
When I neglect you, you still love.
And when I lose you
You will always find me.
You are the reason for my numbness,
But you are the only thing I can feel.
I love how we can dance now.
I carry you in heavy arms and
Deep pliés.
My leg is yours,
As well as my ribcage
And my lungs.
I wish you took my heart.
Take my heart,
Because you have it now.
I love that you are the lyrics inside my song,
The piercing through my skin,
And the star inside my apple.
You are my wallpaper.
I fall asleep with you next to me
Every night
And I dream inside our photos.
I love it how you take me to the past,
Even though the past is bittersweet.
I love you.

Amazing word choice: crevice of my tailbone, seed planted itself, ribbons buried in the marrow of my bones. AMAZING!!!!!
"I love it when I don't think about you" Favorite line ever!!! This speaks to me in so many different ways..it is perfect.
I wish you took my heart.
Take my heart,
Because you have it now.- This seems a little too cliche for my taste.
All together-very very good
"I wish you took my heart.
Take my heart,
Because you have it now"
I do not think that is cliched since this is not a romantic piece.
Well done, I enjoyed reading this very much! Opposite of LAME.
I am so excited that you read this in class Hope. It's an amazing poem, with bangin' language. ( I couldnt find a word to describe how much I enjoyed the language)
"I love how we can dance now, I carry you in heavy arms... etc"
So so lovely, adding in the "plies" part dug just a little bit deeper. I get so much emotion from this. A bittersweet feeling.
I also like
"I wish you took my heart.
Take my heart,
Because you have it now."
Almost forcing it upon the person to take whatever is left. It just got to me, and the way you read it too, i tried hard not to cry.
You are such a great poet, i love this. I cant say it enough. Every line has meaning, and nothing is thrown in just to sound good. I think thats rare to find in poem.
I'm done ranting now, im sure you dont care. But i love this
and i lavvv youuu!
........no words can be said........... if i could make a little cyber heart that diidn't look really pathetic i would send it to this poem like everyday.....it would have a gabgillion hearts all over it cuz i loved the whole thing.
