I told you to be careful as you walked on the floor boards of my heart.
I told you they were weak, and easy to fall apart.
You did not listen and it only took a stomp or two,
But before I knew it everything fell through.

When you wanted me I told you it was a mistake,
But my heart was so vulnerable and easy to take.
Now I know to never let myself be so weak.
I know it will be hard next time we have to speak.

I feel so stupid for even giving you a chance,
And letting you spin me around in your little dance.
Now I just feel sick.
I don’t understand why you did this.

I hate feeling bad for myself,
So feeling like this is personal hell.
I really want to hurt you back,
But being near you might give me a heart attack.

&quot;Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, but I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.&quot;

Okay so I really loved the beginning of the poem. The dea of walking on somebody's heart was soo unique and intriguing that I was entranced. But as it went on the imagery became more literal and less exciting. At certain points it was even a little cliched. But overall nice work and keep it up!!!!

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;<br /> Weep, and you weep alone.<br /> For the sad old earth must borrow it&#039;s mirth,<br /> But has trouble enough of its own.

This was also extremely relatable for me. I think a lot of people have that one person who they completely regret letting into their lives. This reminded me of mine. It was your personal story, but yet I related to it. Your rhymes flowed well and it was easy to read. Lovely poem.

i like it! its very similar to one of my poems A Map to Darkness. i like how ur not afraid to admit u were wrong. i also like how ur brutally honest with th fact u wish u could hurt him back. i think we all go through those moments. dont worry u will find someone better !
