Latex Heart

Made to endure the pain. Still hurts like hell, though.

You know my walls are crumbling

My defenses depleted

Demons that your voice alone

Could have defeated

Senses ruptured and burning 

Chaotic confusion 

The touch of your fingers

Would have soothed them

Alone and shivering

Like I was from the start

I know it'll be alright

I've got a latex heart

I like the rhythm of it, good poem. Also, the line of "Senses ruptured and burning, chaotic confusion The touch of your fingers would have soothed them" was very passionate, liked it

A sad write,I think the only heart which doesn't get hurt is a no heart! Like the flow. A latex heart would only be kept dry don the tears! :-)

Finding that what was always there, filling the hours, providing that something to look forward to, is gone is an indefensible pain. Some would say indescribable, but you have done just that. Painful read that is felt.
