The horses part is basically describing the speed of the blood.
Poetry / 15 years old
The sweetest yes my heart skipped some pulses,
horses raced through the veins to my eyes,
sporadic images of lips, processed kisses, feel, enjoy, repeat…Despise.
Disguise the laughter with open eyes transfixed in mine I saw some lies
They paralyze oh even deeper,
If I cannot find her amidst the fields then how am I my lover’s keeper?
I fell for weeks inside a chasm of broken glass orgasmic pain
Stained my sweater it kept getting wetter with every shard that kissed my skin.
But I don’t scream I stand true to pride, my heart isn’t broken it’s in denial
and if I could I would steal her smile, to glimpse on these rainy days.
Leaves etched a sad story,
from the tree I sat below,
and caught the rain in my mouth and eyes for reasons I do not know.
Thought…waves…empty graves her voice did call from far away
Turn around….scream….blade….gleam….Stabbed her name into the tree
Sap poured out if blood it would hurt,
Steel ripping into the center of birth
Delight….Sleep…Voices….dreams…
Sporadic images of lips…Dead fingers grip….She was less to me than it seems.

You have several strong lines here. I particularly like the line that states “Stained my sweater it kept getting wetter with every shard that kissed my skin” – there is a very nice rhythm to your words here, almost musical. Your ending is also quite strong. The image of dead fingers gripping is rather powerful and is a good way to close off the piece.
At the same time, however, some of the metaphors are unclear to me. I’m a little confused by the horses that “raced through the veins” to your eyes. I think there are some lines that could benefit from some punctuation or added words; “Sap poured out if blood it would hurt” for example. Overall, this is a good poem considering your age when you wrote it.
I really like this! I like the beat and rhythm to it as I read it. I like the strong emotions and the resolution of the heartbreak at the end; he recovers. The imagery is strong and vivid, very mature. I’ll be looking for more of your work!

this is a disturbing work for a 15 year old. the author seems more mature. the writting is excellent. it’s very vivid and dark. It’s one of those works you hate to say you love if you know what I mean. a “natural born killer” kinda thing. awesome read.
