Love Me Broken.

Love Me Broken

 

You make me and you break me

Build me up and kick me down

Choose me then refuse me

'Till my heart is spinning round

Round and round.

 

Then a touch and I am taken

A whisper and I'm yours

A smile and I'm melting

A phone call and I'm gone,

Gone again.

 

So kiss me once,

And kiss me twice,

I'm yours and you are mine

Tonight.

Kiss me three,

And kiss me four,

Can't leave you or I'll stop feeling

Stop feeling this much more...

Alive.

It feels really incomplete to me, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I just threw it out in a few minutes ago, I usually wait a few days before posting anything so I can look back and see my mistakes better- so I guess just keep in mind that this is a very rough draft. >.

 

PS> Sure the title's been used on something or another before.

want my honest, uncensored opinion? you have a crazy gift for poetry. however, there are two spots that imo don't match up to the perfection of the rest of this poem:

 

in line two, "tear me down" seems a little predictable after "build me up". maybe a less commonly used word like rip, strike, shove, etc. could be used to greater effectiveness.

 

line four could stand as-is but seems a syllable too long to me, and i would try to find a way to re-work it. maybe take out the word "poor"?

 

Hannahleh, i hope you're not offended by my objective critique. i fully expect you to go far with your natural talent.

Thanks a lot, all of you. Lol, I actually mean it when I say I want criticism, I really appreciate it. I'll clean that up, I know what you mean about the extra syllable- my problem with this whole poem is it's missing flow or rhythm or something... I dunno. Merrrr.
