My Best Friend ~ My Worst Enemy

 

You fill my heart with love – I fill your heart with love

 

You tore my heart from my chest – I tore your heart from your chest

 

I held your heart in my hand – you held my heart in your hand

 

You squeezed the life from my heart with your hands – I squeezed the life from your heart with mine

 

I threw your heart onto the floor – you threw my heart onto the floor

 

With regret I picked your heart up off the floor – you did the same

 

I held your heart close and wanted to lock it away so no one else could touch it – you held my heart close and wanted to lock it away so no one else could touch it.

 

I threw your heart outside into the cold – you threw my heart outside into the cold

 

I ran outside, picked up your heart and kissed it until it was better – you took my kisses and didn't do the same to mine

 

I set your heart free – you let me

 

I caught your heart with a butterfly net – you let me

 

I stabbed your heart with a sharp object - you stabbed mine back

 

I threw your heart in the street and ran over it with my car – you threw my heart into the street and ran it over incidentally with my car as well

 

I scraped your heart off of the pavement and pampered it with Neosporin and band aids – you scraped my heart off of the pavement and kissed it until it seemed better.

 

I tried my best to piece your heart back together just the way I found it – you didn't quite put the same effort into piecing my heart back together

 

This made me put even more effort into caring for your heart

 

I tried to add pieces to your heart that I thought were missing – this made your heart resent my heart

 

This left my heart empty and enraged

 

I told you that my heart needed kisses and attention

 

Instead you squashed my heart and left it gasping for air

 

I take responsibility for what I did your heart.

 

Do you understand what you did to my heart?

 

You gave it away long ago my friend. Now let it go.

Intense! Very vivid and touching. I can tell this comes from life experience. I enjoyed the format of the poem.
