i fitted her out with a kind of emptiness
that left marks not scars for weeks and days
felt like after-effects of a sexual caress
that shivered spine not intentional ways
so after all's left enthroned in sight
i captured her heart with my thought so rough
by looking at glass through beautiful light -
entwined in arms that bled not enough
Author notes
this is just... what came out. i didn't entirely have much of an idea what "dirty-pretty" is, either. i'm not entirely sure i want to do too much research to find out.
this poem definitely, i believe, fits the requirement of "abstract", although it's a pretty ... harsh requirement to fit "abstract" with "dirty pretty"!
In a list
Please tell me what you think

hiya tim,
ha ha - many of my "dark" poems are quite shocking, i realise!
there appear to not be many limits on what words can be said
through me: i look forward to there being none - but i also
ironically look forward to _nice_ words ha ha bit of a contradiction there i think...

thank you. it was just a simple piece. it's quite unusual in that i had to change some of the words. normally, poems just flow straight out. you can probably tell which ones because they will be slightly more difficult to speak (compared to the "flow" that you noticed). what happened was i found that the last line came out and i had to find something to match line 6, changing the last three words of line 6.
