you're in my breath





I write acrostic summaries
to your name
and love poems
on my math homework
because all these emotions
calculate to you.

My fingers have defined partitions,
holding your smiles in place
so we don't tilt backwards
and wilt.

The storms are exhausting,
neverending,
brutal -
and the rain drips like glitter,
dragging down my heart -

so we regress, spinning disasters;
and I, desperate to grip memories,
become the stain on your chest

fraying rapidly
without you.







Author notes

No, you're not dreaming. I wrote a love poem.

For Marty:
For all he has done to help me and for being my rock.
And a very sexy one at that

    what a cheesy opening stanza, the pun, it was too much, it really was

    the second stanza has the possiblity of standing on it's own

    You write very few love poem,
    but you have a real talented for writing them.
    This was very nicely done, with still a touch of the real you. Maybe you should try writing more. It's nice to see the other side of you, that you like to hide.
    Lovely writing.

    Love You,
    Granny

    now i've picked my jaw up from the floor, i'll see if my disbelief allows me to comment properly (are you sure thats you Chan?)

    I absolutly adore the first two stanzas.

    Stanza three starts just as good, but the "falling off my heart" spils it a bit.

    First line of stanza four ... no, no, no .. much to normal for you.

    love the ending.

    you may not really like love poetry, but you sure as hell can write it.

    WHAT! WHHHAAAT! Do you want to make me through up into a pot, boil it, and then drink it?

    LOL! Just kidding. The poem's itself is great, but the content is shocking and a little disturbing come from you. I tried imagining you as one of those cutesy wutesy girls and almost laughed my head off.

    The background makes me hurl too.

    holding your smiles in place
    so we don't tilt backwards
    and wilt.


    Striking imagery; it really portrays your strong emotion and shows me that you have a great bond with Marty!!!

    Puke-a-licious. I loved it.

    emotions calculate to you - nice

    partitions - not overly keen on

    tilt/wilt - yay

    rain drips like glitter - pretty

    leaks through my eyes - no, don't like

    become the stain on your chest - yes, though I hate it when Thom cries and gets make-up over my NICE CLOTHES

    how heartless am I?

    really love the ending...really really really

    fucking hell, what's next...

    you writing in morse code or somethin
