My Heart is a Yo-Yo

You don�t care; its only a toy ... You throw it away

My heart is a yo-yo

You are the player

I promised myself I’d be strong

You hold me gently

 

My heart is a yo-yo

Your yo-yo to pull and tug

I know better, I should’ve known

And then throw me down

 

My heart is a yo-yo

Yours to play with up and down

I will not cry, I will not break

And then you pull me up

 

My heart is a yo-yo

Yours to spin around

A single tear, down my cheek

And then you twist and turn

 

My heart is a yo-yo

Yours to do as you please

Just one tear, breaks free

You’ve done it before

 

My heart is a yo-yo

Yours for the taking

I will not let you destroy me

You did it again

 

My heart is a yo-yo

You throw it back and forth

I am dizzy, going in circles

You begin get bored

 

My heart is a yo-yo

You don’t care; its only a toy

I am broken

You throw it away

SImple yet poinant. A wonderful repersenation of an emotional roller coaster.

[Diana Owen Busy with Li..]

a wonderful poem about a hearts ups and downs

[Angelheaded Hipster]

I do like the feeling I get from this...I did re-read this...colors seperatly...and I liked it more that way. I am not a fan of repetition, and I don't want to be harsh...but I will say it's cool, in the sense of up and down that I feel from reading....but I think that you could maybe use other words to signify yo-yo?

I like the first line to it.. adds almost an innocence to the poem. Also, looks like you're getting how to use the colour functions on this. But I like the colours too, after reading it, I went back and read all the blue's, maroon, and red separately. And they're like three different set of poems (except for the second stanza [?], where you make reference to your heart being a yo-yo). And it can be taken as only one poem cuz of how you have it together. I know some people might have a problem with so much repetition in this one, but I like it. Good job on it.
