You won't look me in the eyes
As I lie here, curled foetus-tight
Your tulle skirt spilling glitter
Like sand on the cluttered wood
You pick at the wallpaper again
Fixing my M/I/N/D
With your star-patterned band-aids
Spewing pity like projectile vomit
Pressing gummy-bears into my hand
As if it will make me forget
My bandages in stark contrast
To the darkness of your e.y.e.s
That now seem cloudier than ever
Storm in a porcelain teacup
[Tornado in your mind?]
Words stick like toffee in your mouth
You fight the cliche as always
Breaking my heart for your tragic pride
Staring at the window- as if maybe you could fly
Flame red hair sweat-stuck
to apple-white cheeks
[Our gravestones build themselves...]

This is really good and I like it, but I don't think it really fit the contest. Thanks, though.
Stay sick

I love this stanza. It has so much impact i can feel the bitterness oozing out of them. Beautiful write. I hope you've won trophies over this one. Gorgeous. -
this is really good! I really enjoyed reading this, it has left me speechless!
I love the part where you've written "Fixing my M/I/N/D
With your star-patterned band-aids
