Double Vision.


confessionI can't change the way I feel;;

...while your eyes are slowly being glued to me
for what seems like hours at a time
how are you blankly inclined to forget
that I refuse to charm you back
i
f you've become reluctant about being mine;
drumming my fingers at an agitated pace
while my heart beats out of time

these unattended thoughts boil with confusion
& it helps none that you've disruptively become
the spitting image of an appetizing boy

I once thought I knew;
but I complied to the engaging attention
hopes falling loosely from the palm of my hand
anchoring immediately into your control


this is double of what I bargained for
burying my head in my pillow only to scream
becoming tired of watching my life
being fiercely put on rewind
& not having the slightest idea
on what these troubling emotions mean.

Rewriting your name in a dull permanent marker
[right next to his]
considering every last consequence
of a contagious disease I've inhaled
just by being intoxicated by your cologne
or feeling his blistering fingerprints on my skin
as his hand trailed nervously down my knee

it's entirely too risky
to character responsibilities into the wet cement
watching infatuation form into something beautiful
only to be accordingly dried out
& with one stroke
be hastily destroyed

it's the same routinized & baneful nightmare
I'm horrendously caught in separate directions
as he unfailingly watches & you call my name;
quickly, I'm banding my eyelids together
unable to choose pulls at my seams
so I crudely let my heart lead the way.

I forfeit it all
nevermore should you expect
another tedious & desperate call
demanding a reason why
you can't seem to assimilate me into your heart
so why bring yourself to believe
that it's an absolute importance

that I accept you into mine[?]

& he's just another face
in an unfamiliar room full of strangers
& even though I remind myself
that I deserve the best
I'd crawl right back into his arms anyday;
I'd fail miserably at my own test.

[deceived.bruised.let.down.
beaten to the ground];

baby,
don't say that I didn't warn you
that I can't change the way I feel.

    Wow, what a tangled mess your heart has become.
    I like your writing style and the poem was well done. The topic was facinating and you kept me interested through the whole thing. Only one critizism, could you make the text a little bigger? I dont personaly like it that small, its making me squint! Take it for what its worth of course, only my opinion.

    Wow, you never seem to disappoint

    How ironic that I've been here before. I once again felt mirrored in your script.
    perhaps it's a combination of the fact that these words are like a dose of reality, for which my brain has anxiously yet unfontunately accepted, and your marvelous ability to use imagery to really put a situation into perspective.
    I liked the part about "failing my own test." How ironic that when I was reading these lines, exact flashbacks of various situations started flashing through my mind. Not only did this poem allow me to see your reality, but also allowed me to painfully relive mine, and yet that being said, I had a wonderful time reading this.
    This contains the words I've always wanted to say to various people, and I really take no shame in saying this. You undoubtedly, are my absolute favorite poet. Your talents are brilliant, and you deliver so elaborately.
    I haven't met a poet yet, that was able to blow me away. You however managed to accomplish this task.
    Thanks.

    greatt

    This was very good, hoe. Emotional but powerful. I'm glad you were able to get out your feelings and at least feel a little bit better!

    Hmm, I believe these are my favorite lines. They have such strength and importance...I like the whole 'watching my life being fiercely put on rewind' part especially. WE.CANNOT.AND.WILL.NOT.GO.BACKKKK. :]]

    Epically amazing...and how every girl feels when she's torn while liking someone, except put into the perfect words. Seriously, I'm speechless from the amazingness of this poem and I'm trying to find more words but I keep on saying "amazing" and can't find anything else to say. >_<

    ...AMAZING!

    This is kind of tragic in a way because the narrator doesn't seem to really like this boy, she is just drawn to him because he reminds her of someone else.

    It doesn't read angry to me. It reads honest.

    A good expression.
