slit my wrists with scissors but I bleed glitter glue I'll paste my heart together mailing it to you jumping off the bridge you burned drowning in my tears but they're just sugar candy hold the fireworks and cheers thought our picture could survive the storm but we were colored chalk melted and ran into the gutter and of course,you walked

OK, I'll be honest and say that I think a lot of 'poetry' people send to sites like this is cr*p - but your isn't! I love the imagery you've used. It's powerful and original. Keep writing. best wishes.

this sentence:"melted and ran into the gutter",I like, a kind of style like Baudelaire's, hope to see more from you:)

Nice allegory... I also like the method of "surprise verse" that you used... An agglomeration of symbols that makes you read the poem at least twice...that's also a good technique. Keep it up!
