.xx.without you.xx.

Every glitter piece that falls sparkling in
Step to the beat of cut-time heartbreak
Reminds me of the love I had for you.

Constant flickers and misunderstandings
Led to shaken. Make ups. Melt downs. Break up.
And I wish I could take back all that I
Could.. just to feel the confetti pieces
Of love you sprinkled on me-- your cupcake.

I miss the sugar candy kisses, love.
The way you’d wrap me in your confection
And you’re so pretty, babe, with your striking
Imperfections-- you only have a few..

I hope one day you’ll fall to your knees to
Tell me you miss me more than I love you.

Author notes

Aanika--
This is a shoddy sonnet form. I was hurting bad and just the beats fall where they wanted to. Sorry.

I will write something fresh in the next two days. I'm super busy with school and work and everything.. But I promise I will get something to you.

I love your writing.. and there's just so many pieces I want to show you of mine! But I cant write a hundred fresh poems by the time this contest enters. Thanks for having this contest.. I think it'll help me get past my block.

    This is a very sad peice and I am sorry you no longer have your love. But I must say that this peice is very well writen. Everything fit perfectly and the emotions expressed here just pour right out of the peice. This part was my very favorite:
    "Every glitter piece that falls sparkling in
    Step to the beat of cut-time heartbreak
    Reminds me of the love I had for you."
    I am not sure why but this part really seemed to hit me and ment the most. Excelent poem I really enjoyed this. Great job and keep up the good writing!

    I love this piece. I can relate to this so much, and you write about it so well, rather than conform to typical cliches. I like your style of writing Well done with this piece, and .. good luck

    a good beat here, kept together with a tight beat in your arrangement, i was just counting lines then and smiled - though perhaps not ending lines with i in the future poems you write that said, i enjoyed reading this poem, and i clicked at random here to find whatever and was pleased the first poem i cl;icked on was great

      yeah i really didnt want to end on i.. but i wanted it to say what it does. : ( haha. so you counted lines and noticed that it was a sonnet? if you did, awesome. no one's noticed yet. my beats may be off a bit.. i tried to do iambic pentameter.. but i guess i never knew how the beats were supposed to go. : ) oh well. for my second sonnet, im pretty happy with it. thanks so much for commenting!

    with your striking imperfections

    what a great line. this poem is so good. it hits me hard right now, because i'm going through a lot.. it's nice to just sit down and read sometimes i guess. "tell me you miss me more than i love you".. where do you come up with this? it's sheer beauty.

      where do i come up with this?

      heartache && brutal honesty..
      spilled guts && folk lore..
      rain checks and iou's...
      still waiting for him to say "i miss you".

      whoa that rhymed. not intentional. but.. i think the heart aches more than any muscle in the body ever could.. and im overworked this time around..
