Rewind

A single iridescent tear forms in azure eyes
And trails in rivulets upon porcelain cheek
No man is worth the aggravation, no boy
No other is worth what she does to herself
No other is worth her self-created prison
Such unworthy, sadistic torture
All she knows is the shredding of her fragile heart
Rape her, break her, continuously desecrate her
Demolish the remainder of her piteous self-esteem
So many times she's been used for them
Possessed for some petty whim of man's
The spiral of her life unbroken, plunging down
Falling with the droplet on her cheek
To explode upon the concrete bottom
Where her waterfall becomes a well
Her well of misery and despair
Come, drink and be hopeless
Hapless, reckless inside your desolate heart
Where animal impulsiveness presides
Like Pandora's Box, Hope is trapped inside
To be released in time to save the world
Alas, it's too late already...

Rewind

Author notes

The purpose of this poem- to use as many fancy words as possible while maintaining an aura of despair. Inspired by multiple works of -ButterflyCuts- and the shitty way I feel at the moment lol.
Written May 31st, 2006

    I really like this. The use of "fancy" words lends mystery to it certainly, but moreso, the trick is to get the nuance of those words to flow cohesively. I'm curious about the title? Will add you as a "Favorite".

    Na, it's inspired by the one where you were talking about the girl's green eyes. And rivulets are spirals

    Beautiful, and:

    I really love this poem. The usage of fancy words i think gave it a gothic victorian affect that portays your despair perfectly. Talk to you later okay? Wonderfully written poem
