What He Wanted

He wanted to know all my secrets,
So I spilled my soul out on his bed.
They were packed so perfectly neat before,
Now I can`t fit them back in my head.

He wanted to see all my scars,
I displayed them for his viewing pleasure.
They were sewn shut so tightly before,
Now I can`t get the seams back together.

He wanted to feel my heart beating,
So I cracked my ribs open for him.
Pounding so hard, it just overheated,
Now I can`t get it running again.

Very clever! I like the rocking chair rhyme scheme, and the build up to the finale. You had me at the first line!
We always recall the ones that got away.
I love your memory.

Loved the raw emotion in this one.
The words pour out in this like your feelings and emotions when you met
Nicely done

There are those who will never be satisfied with all of it.
Sounds as if this is one of those instances! I have lived and died in a couple of those moments.
I/'/ve even painted this very same thought...what more can I give when I/'/ve already given everything I am?
Powerful thoughts. Take care!
Thanks for sharing!!!
