    Hey KHV! Havent been here in while...
    Now this poem is very...everywhere. Some verses have a set rhythm, others don't. None rhyme. Its very disjointed but I think in a thought process like this, it works. Lemme know what you think =)

    No! I said
    I screamed
    I screeched
    My vow to myself

    Heart failure was there
    Rising
    Climbing
    Peaking as it cracked

    Thats when I swore
    Promised
    Crossed my heart
    It will never break

    Then there was you
    Your eyes
    Your hair
    Your smile
    Your...everything

    Nothing about you whispered 'perfection'
    No, everything about you screamed it.

    No! I said
    I screamed
    I screeched
    My vow to myself

    But you were worth it
    The effort
    The pain
    The tears
    The shame
    Well, my thoughts were the only ones that mattered

    Oops.

    There was you
    Kissing the icing of a cakeface
    Uncovering the wretched beauty that lay beneath

    Then there was me
    Cold
    Alone
    Broken
    No where near as much as you'll be

    And I swore again
    No one is worth it
    No one should hurt
    The way that I did

    But you follow your logic
    That follows your emotion
    That follows your heart
    So when you follow the leader
    You're back at the start.

    I really like this~ Noone ever said a poem has to rhyme or has to have a rhythm :) Sometimes the best poems are written free-verse :) But this poem is lovely...It's kind of sad though..But I do like it a lot ^_^ that last verse really gets me (And kind of rhymes..Heart, start) The way it suggests following your heart gets you nowhere...A very strong poem indeed...Well done ^_^ It's masterpiece~
