[first understatement;] 

 

 

 

i never noticed until now how your eyebrows droop and your
eyes change colour when sobriety infiltrates the salt releasing

from your pores. it's not like i questioned you for no particular

reason, or to get the benefit of the doubt. it's just that my

camera lens was no longer capturing your inner beauty.

 

 

 

 

every picture developed was marbled in varieties of greys,

and i wasn't able to abide with average. i've already watched

you follow in everyone else's footsteps but your own, morphing

into whoever was in your presence, and becoming all that you've

ever known. and it's not like i can dig my ruby nails any deeper
into your soul to attempt to reveal the message your breaths

secreted into perfectly clean air.

 

 

 

but it's your availability that bolts my lips together every time.

with a single exhaust of lust released from the tips of your

fingers could so easily condemn all i've left undone, polluting the

existence of shame and discomfort. 

 

 

i no longer had a judicial reason to say 'no.'

 

 

-

 

 

[second chances;]

 

 

 

 

to you, i'm simply the girl in red, rewriting your statements in

poetic verses and brandishing your true identity to the world.

to you, i was an addiction that filtered your organs and penetrated

the darkest spaces you left untouched. and now that the "i'm

sorry's" are over with and excuses are in your favor, i'm starting

to realize why i can no longer portray myself as allowing and

vulnerable to you anymore. 

 

 

 

you'd have the credible stimulation to destroy me.

 

 

 

 

 

but i'm undergoing certain combinations of negative and positive

reactions when it comes to relating ourselves to the science of 

attraction. truth be told, you and me are only driven into confidence

when our mindset is uncontrollable. we are the theory that can't be

subdued to an actuality.

 

 

 

 

 

i don't want you to be under the impression that my heart is
is in storage, waiting for you to complete the simulation.

i don't want you to think my arms are left open for you at

anytime you feel you need a place to go. 

because in reality, that isn't fair;

 

 

 

 

 

even if you and i never have an ending.

  • 'it's just that my
    camera lens was no longer capturing your inner beauty.'

    that honesty is just so raw, and just speaks to you all on its own.

    'to you, i'm simply the girl in red, rewriting your statements in poetic verses and brandishing your true identity to the world.to you, i was an addiction that filtered your organs and penetrated the darkest spaces you left untouched.'

    i love the almost reversal in that part, this whole piece just seeps a blunt honesty, that is really compelling and makes you want to keep reading.

    and the ending,

    amazing.

    just yeah.


    this is so beautiful love.

    I love the way you right, I normally am a stickler for spelling and grammar, but the piece was very moving. A lot of rich images and a great story here.

    I really enjoyed the almost narrative flow and the ending as well. The imagery was very moving, specially the "every picture developed was marbled in varieties of greys" line.

  • 'every picture developed was marbled in varieties of greys,

    - I'm sorry I copied so much of this, but WOW. This is an amazing ending. So sad.

    Brilliant.

  • Great job on this one. You have real talent. The feelings in your poem reminded me of those in a book I just read by the Swedish mystery writer Asa Larrson. Well done. Keep up the good work.

  • Holy cow. This was amazing. I'm not one for prose, but everything you write just blows my mind. Your emotion is so strong in this. Your imagery is brilliant. I read this out loud, and it just blew my mind. Its flow was phenomenal. Great job and good luck in the contest.

  • Maybe I should just stop writing -_- I wanted to find a line that I could favorite or something, but sadly enough for me...I could quote everything you could ever say, and it'd still be mind-blowing.

  • Wow this should most certainly win
    Amazing write. Just absolutely stunning!!
