Your Heart Was My Home Until You Handed Me an Eviction Notice MAG
I removed the layers of blankets from my aching bones
to excavate the secrets that were held together by saliva
in papier-mâché envelopes, only to chew on disappointments
and lie on shards of fragile stained glass that tampered with my flaws,
instead of putting me back together with multicolored duct tape
so gray was only found inside of my body.
I wrung the tears from your sweatshirt and decided it was time
to give it back to you, in exchange for my serpent heart
[barely beating,
barely breathing];
instead of curling inside your stomach and making you
nearly as ill as I had become, just by drinking venomous nectar
and digesting fireflies so a small portion of me would feel alive,
I climbed over your picket fence and let you recline my eyes
in another awkward position to the point where I only chain-smoked
the main exhibits of your aesthetic proportions and declined
every deficiency of the person you truly are,
i. blunt

This was amazing, so vivid and well-worded, excellent job. Keep writing!
Btw, anyone who sees this, will you check out and comment on my work?
I love the feeling of ambiguity you have incorporated in this as well as the deep emotions it conveys. I also LOVE the comparison you have made with the heart and the serpent :)
Well done! ^.^

WHAT? spelling--wrong
and you stated " i wish i can't explain how good this is"
don't you mean you wish you could???
try proof-reading
the title was creative but let's get to the point.....
in the beginning you start with blankets------fine.
then you totally switch completly and start jumping all over the place.
where's the concept? the plot? the theme? to tell you the truth i was very....confused. try to stay in one place. it's almost like you are a painter and you are painting so many things on one canvas that the people viewing it...have no idea of what it's supposed to be. GIVE CLEAR IDEA OF WHAT'S HAPPENING.
