Threadbare emotions

Threadbare emotions

A Poem by Dave W.
"

Overtime loves fades when callously used..

"
Stretched
torn
and soaked

worn-in
and wore-out

my heart can no longer bear
being your denim jeans

Thank you again for the kind review, I like that it was as the poem, brevity
I’ve seen hearts and love compared to lots of things over the years but I think this is the first time I’ve seen jeans be the comparison. It’s always fun to stumble upon something different.
I know brevity was the point but I’m still going to comment on it because it’s so hard to do short well. I feel like you made yourself even more of a challenge by having some especially short lines. This really made a picture in the reader’s mind even if only 20 words were used to make it. As a frequent wearer and rather hard user on a lot of my jeans, I instantly knew the feeling that would come with that type of misuse.
Great work.
