Broken Admiration

He broke my heart

Play your games

Hold my heart above my head

Torture me

Sit in your throne

Look at me

Laugh drunkenly

Feel my wrath

I loved

You broke me

My face red

Cheeks tearstained 

Eyes smoldering

Love is a silly thing

Plays with your mind

Melting all reason

Play your games

Hold my heart above my head

Torture me

Author's Note

This is also very different from what I usually write.

Ah what is love but an aching heart and pocket full of broken promises.
cant remember who wrote that, but your poem reminded me of it.

[R. Nella]

Possibly not your intent, but many people fall in to the trap of repeating their mistakes through a series of relationships, and the repetition of the last stanza reminds me of that.

I particularly like particularly "Love is a silly thing. Plays with your mind, melting all reason".

Whew. I love this one. Sharp and to the point and still conveys your emotions.

[Devons]

A compact, concise and pure little cameo, which depicts a situation which is universally recognisable. How it feels to be at the mercy of the one that no longer loves you is very well expressed here through the metaphors used. The concept of the man on the throne, the heart being held above you, the drunken taunting laughter - all represent exactly what it seems to be like. The other now has the power, your pain is at their mercy; torture. It is a mental perspective.. "Love is a silly thing
Plays with your mind
Melting all reason"
...but the way it is simply evoked here brings it to life smartly and accurately.

It is his loss, you are a beautiful, intelligent woman. And you write very well.
Try to stop letting him torture you, you deserve better

[HappyAccident]

I love the rhyming scheme ,it felt like I should be beating a drum to it.I feel passion behind your words,very nice.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very strong poem. You made your point. Sometime when someone believe they have control. The control can be twisted around. The torture one may become the one with the power. A excellent poem. You made me think.
