I remained calm but only for love's sake.

Deep down I suffer from a terrible heartbreak.

The containment of my heart was so full it cracked,

In the relationship, trust like slaves was packed.

Loyalty was the cord that embraced my circumference.

Integrity, my square tangents, my impermeable fence.

My heart became so full of her that it got too heavy to carry,

But though her weight broke my heart, I'm really not sorry.

A heartbreak is denied, shunned and most times rejected,

But think it not that I am insane; by affection, I have been injected.

My heart is leaking and happy memories are dripping out,

My atrium is being pressured as passion is flashing about.

Some sincerity has been exposed and is clotting by air,

Jealousy is spewing out but I don't care.

I defy the odds and live with a heartbreak I love.

The release is like a mental orgasm with wings like dove.

5 - The best I've read in a while.

4 - It was a good read, something I would probably read again.

3 - Well, at least there were words in there that I recognised.

2 - Needs more work than words can describe.

1 - I really can't get what you are trying to say, really I can't.

Rovel Chambers:

I must say it is the best I've read in a while so it is a 5 for me. I had to read it a second time around, without a doubt, as the writer clearly poured his heart out at the impact of his affection for this girl. This heartbreak wasn't the usual that would be expected, the irony was so clear as his unyielding affection towards this girl is amazing, and it shows guys can really be hurt from relationships, not only girls.

I choose # 4 because it was a good read, something I would probably read again. To me, it has a compassionate style and the expressions are quite intense. Correspondingly, it is evident that the writer is expressing himself about a particular female whom he admires immensely, possibly because of her physical appearance, honesty, sincerity and mutual love which he shared with his counterpart.

I choose #4 because it was actually a good read and I enjoyed it. It brings out an interesting irony of experiencing heartbreak but in the sense that his heart is so full of love for his lover that his heart cracks. The expressions portray a relationship governed by loyalty on the writer's part. His expressions of personification are endearing and explain how deeply he feels for his lover.
