Her spine
broken from the years of running form one lovers arms to the next
Is the only thing that holds her thin dress,over her delicate and stained skin
Her body
Submerges into a catatonic state as she waits
Greedily for the embrace of her next lover
-Desires of a used paperback

My objective through this pice was to personify an object in a way to give perspective to the reader as well as a surprise.

The ones who say they love us are the ones that hurt us the most.

TYPO ALERT: form vs. from, lovers vs. lover's, no comma between dress and over (third line)  

You may want to change the last line to something a bit clearer, like

Thank you so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I know, as i just re-read the poem i found another spelling/grammatical error. Next time i post i will make sure that i double check my writing. Because unfortunately you can't edit it once you post it. Thanks again. :)
