Expiration dates on old soup cans look like I love you when there's no one else around

I thought for a split second that in between these coded text messages I could detect a hint of sympathy. Maybe I was hearing you on your knees preforming what you thought could've been an apology. (too bad you gave it to the wrong damn person.)

Dear Anxiety,
Meet my knuckles, because they're clinched white in your honor. I can't take the fact that you never felt any remorse when you were staring me in the eyes delivering the same lines you read last week.
I wanted to believe that I couldn't tell they were rehearsed.

I wanted to believe in you....




I hear coughing excuses telling me what I should say and how I should feel, but some how I still let you have your way because I might be crazy, but I think I love you. ((For all it's worth)) I do, even if you are only playing pretend.


Glazed over stares were the last thing I saw before my own eyes went black and the techni-color light show lost it's revolutionary effect. From God to Satan let's not forget why we we're put here. To Pro-create (If that is what you want to call it). But you make it much more complicated than that. You could drug me as much as you want but I still know you don't even care.


Somewhere Rain is falling, and the sun is rising, but you make me feel as If it all stopped.



What a joke.



Yet I don't hear you laughing.





Cruelty to animal's is against the law, but what about me? Am I not worthy of someone else's protection from your malicious attack on what could have been a heart? You feel the ice on my breath?
good.


Imaginary isolationist were the only factor holding me back. I was so close to just letting you go.

Let the repercussions rain.




My umbrella is holey and you like to mock my drenched wardrobe.









Love.

Overrated.

Outdated.


Who the fuck am I kidding?

Well the inspiration for this is just that I wanted to manipulate the words to give you a feeling. of despair? of Rage? of anything, as long as you felt something, I'm satisfied.

    firstly i adore the title <3 v clever, and i completely get what you mean...

    "Somewhere rain is falling and the sun is rising but you make me feel as if it all stopped" - love that line... really powerful and touching and beautifully simple. and then so ironic with the next line. v sharp.

    sad ending... letting it go.
    i love this lots and lots.

    <333 love yoo honeyxxx

    This is amazing. The flow and breaking of it is very good. Mostly I love that the words are so real and powerful. It definitely made me feel something. The emotion in this poem is overwhelming. The descriptive language and the metaphhores (I think that's the right word.) are awesome. Great and powerful work.

    I have definitely read this at least five time, and I just scrolled down and saw that I haven't commented on it at all.
    I don't know why, because I am absolutely in love with it.
    It's so perfectly angry and emotional. I can relate to the feelings in it, and your words flow so fucking well.
    It's really just an all around GREAT piece of writing. & you should be very very VERY proud of it.

    Ooh, I love this. I love how it doesn't look like a poem but when you read it you know right away what it is. It just has the subtle flowing of a poem, and I love the title. It's just so (almost) off topic, but it fits perfectly. Very well done. =]

    P.S. That one poem of mine you liked that wasn't finished, is now finished. The title's her Essence Anew, so you know.

    Love it! I like how the perspective illustrates the hopeless love but also the underlying attitude and the truth of the situation.

    I dont usually like broken hearted poems and shit. But this one had an unusual twist to it. I cant quite put my finger on it but it held me in someway. I was lost as I was reading. Had noting else on my mind at all. Then the end came along. And yes I certianly felt something. I absoultly love the metaphores you used in this poem. It is truely a great poem.
