+ I never asked for much +

December eyes
            +
            Blue tinted hands
                            reach
                                  to
                                      touch
                                    that one thing.

That dream,
            hope,
  The only wish in a forlorn life.

Yet it S

        P
        S
        away
      from outstretched finger tips.
                                    Running from the N
                                                              I

                                                              S
                                    That coexist in your head.

Fighting you every step of the way,
as a scream battles in the
                        bottom of your throat.


B.L.O.O.D.  d

                  i
                  p
                  s
              from pale fingertips,
      as they scrabble to grasp the object
              which wisps away every time they get close.

The last white cloud in a stormy sky.

Author notes

... This is what you get when Danneh gets her hands on a crossword puzzle.

Allpoetry is killing my spacing though. =(

In a list

Be harsh, be specific.

      Like I said in the Author's notes, i wrote this on a crossword puzzle. One of my friends filled in the downward words, and I went in and filled in the white and black spaces with words. It looked pretty cool.
