Stages





                        i. When I found it out.

Your eyes are as muddy
as your heart.
They find fault
in the sunshine
and doom
in showers
that rejuvenate




and you never once knew
how clearly I saw your shadows,
and how often it was
that they fell on scorched earth.




                        ii. Finding the words.

I will find a way
to pick up these pieces
and sprinkle them, like glitter,
as I dance in circles around you.

They are too broken to be fixed,
but borne from something too beautiful
to lose in its entirity.




                          iii. Saying goodbye to the lies.

I see through your happiness.
Your false teeth smiles
will never be more
than a canvas
for me to destroy.

(Didn't you know?
I'm stronger, now.)







Author notes

They both have false teeth and fillings.
They both infuriate me.
They both love me.
They both drag me down.
They both have the same eyes.

    Oh my wow.
    Sometimes you write amazing stuff,
    and then,
    you produce stuff to rival people like michelangelo,

    and that, is wow.

    Didin't you know?
    I'm stronger now.

    You bring this to life, by the intricit imagery
    oh wow.

    Loved It.

    This is an absoulute great read. From the illusions it created to the message behind it. And how it also lets the reader come up with their own inturpretation. Very well done.
