Tears come softly sweeping away
In the precious after-glow of things remembered
Tomorrow will be forgotten easier than today
Another breathtaking masterpiece
Crumbling in someone else's hands
Becoming vulnerable to unconstructive criticism
Because they thrive and thirst for more
Thirst for a better taste
...Chocolate kisses
...Candy hearts
The only guarantee of true satisfaction
Far from the truth, forgetting what is lost
Doubting the emotions that truly do matter
Quick to forget
...Life is a perfect mess
Blind to the touch of love's bitter embrace
Despite their lack of innocence gone wrong
Their word seems pure, their tongues taste lies
A late-night rendezvous destined for failure
Ignore the things that catch your eye
...His eyes
...His touch
Rejection of character, love's greatest mistake
Heartbreak no more, there is no beat left today
Tonight will be silent while restlessness stirs
Every "I love you", every "goodnight"
Deep down inside
...Is just
...Another "goodbye"

Inspiring...
I can relate to this so much that it's sparked me to write something... I love your style... it's so free but meaningful... you're a very inspiring character who seems to know how you feel... I like the way your emotions seem to shine through your words; sad but true. x

I agree that Conor Oberst would be ashamed.
Ouch. -
Wow, sounds like we have some unsatisfied readers? Fuck 'em! They lack talent of their own, so they feel a need to shit on yours. That is truely pathetic. This was done very well. I too liked your use of periods, it did help the reader to read it the way you would. Excellent piece Heather.....

holy shit. how can you consider this Contemporary. there is nothing Contemporary about it at all. it is emoshit and there are like thousands of poems on this ridiculous site that probably have the exact same lines.
you just regurgitate lines. and they're all the same, they aren't fresh, and they aren't compelling to read.
I am sick of poetry like this. it's a fine line calling it poetry actually. -
Thank you.

Actually, I like the way you use the period key in the beginning of the lines..I do the same myself sometimes. It gives such a nice visualisation of how your chain of thoughts is a continuum of clear and blurry images and concepts
An inspiring piece

I think Conor Oberst would be ashamed of you.
this was fairly terrible I think.
you emoheads need to refarin form using the period key so much, you think it adds to the exasperation of your pathetic out of reach love lives, but really, it just is another excuse to laugh. -
beautifully written
Ahhhhhh not every I love you and not every goodnight will be
another goodbye, beautifully written and expressed
