drop the act

like a lipstick note on the bathroom mirror
your words reflect your [lies]
take time 'babydoll';
as you slam your fist into me-
and watch your world burst into
flames


miss-materialistic /drama/queen.
licking my wounds with your tongue of ::salt
such a [pitiful] excuse
of something once worth trying

-
like a broken-hearted goodbye on a splintered winter morning
your -tears of lead- fall into my chest
metal planks on silk wings of perfections
ripping [forgotten] dreams from a fragile mind


but
like a lipstick note on a bathroom mirror
you can be washed away

    i really liked those lines.

    & the last 3 lines were such a good finish to the poem it really hit hard.

    however i felt like the first line in the second stanza was awkwardly placed and didnt really fit in with the rest of the poem;

    i liked all the imagery and emotions
    overall it was a beautiful poem!

    goodluck in the contest

    I don't understand the need for punctuation like [p.i.t.i.ful] but that's just my opinion.

    I like the last 3 lines.
