Pictures sprawled across the floor
[two bleeding hearts aching for a truth]
& two tye-dyed individuals throwing words into mouths
that for so long were held up so high in the sky.
lips shaking
knees breaking
bodies faking
[tongues try to decipher letters that withered
away such a long time ago.]
Oh, what a jagged little pill
drinking up hopes along the window sill
what a pity you have clothed yourself in
stringing all your lies across my skin.
& with each muffled breath
you dove in for the promises lined across my eyelids
& we held on for something teenagers call forever nowadays
[but you let go too soon.]

This really.. is just amazing.
You were so truthful, that it almost hurt to read, and you threw your emotions out the the reader so cleary, I am just.. so amazed.
This is a work of genius.
You are AWESOME

this is the best piece of writing of yours that I've ever had the pleasure of reading. ever.
in all honesty. it is so perfectly&beautifully painful. it, to me, is what dirty pretty is supposed to be. not a bunch of bullshit fakeness with added punctuation... but real RAW passionate pain... spilled into poetry from the heart.
I am blown away. Even the title is perfect. It all is.
I can't even explain how much I love this.
