A heart for a heart
Today a chain saw smiles
My pains will be locked away
Now give me back my tears!
The ones that ran for years!
Give me back my happiness!
Feelings you killed with sadness!
Give me back my heart!
The one you split in half!
Give me back the wings of love
The ones broken beyond repair
Give me back my life!
The times that were wasted!
Sad tears flow as a river
Whiles songs of forgiveness
Blows pleasure into my ears
But this saw knows no words
Humans call kindness
No mercy for you!
An eye for an eye!
Yesterday was yours
Today will be mine
Today you pay me back!
The writer don't promote killing please
and its better to express your self
on paper or on poem hunter
thanks alot for reading

The poem is pregnant with angry emotions; but well composed and to the point. I like expressing anger in words and on paper; it is therapeutic and if controlled it can produce a good poem. On a minor point, please correct some spelling mistakes: split for splited; whiles for while; An Eye for An Eye! ! ! ! for! ! ! ! an eye for Eye. Thank you for inviting me to read this poem.
Give me back..... why? I ask. If you gave it, then let it stay that way, with whomsoever received it and have the joy that there was something worth giving in you that another has received. Ronald's comments below are helpful. I'll go and read him.
revenge is the starngest form of self harm. Why is it so important that we feel we should pay someone back for a precieved harm they have done us instead of being grateful for the lesson they've given us.
loved it, was short. but DEFINETLY took me more than 12 seconds! ! ! ! ! ! lolz. really liked it, expressionful and i can understand how ur feeling right now.
great write. both sadness and vengence in equal balance put together superbly by an excellent poet. it holds much truth in it for so many injustices done to others. i love it! again my friend a wonderful work of true emotion and art.! 10's all of the way. Jen

I would like to translate this poem
I really like this! Its relatable, creative but not so comlex and filled with illlutions that I can't understand. It has a lot of emotion in it but you managed to keep it balanced =)
