i.
the canvas before me should be blank. however i believe it is stained with memories of you. no matter how i try to paint over my past, it will remain tainted with the haunting ghost of what used to be.
ii.
pretending that the now empty bottle of Advil would help put to sleep my aching heart, just proved to be another disappointment. attempting to oppress the hurt was almost as painful as the original wound.
iii.
the mention of "forever" was designed to impress me, but you conveniently forgot to mask the lies that candy-coated every word. you never failed to underestimate me.
iv.
sleep brings no solace. behind my closed eyes, kaleidoscopes of frenzied dancing images appear and swirl. the chaos overpowers my will to forget but not my will to fight.
v.
i take pleasure in walking away from you. letting you watch as i venture away from the winterish chill of your heart... if you have one at all. although i sometimes quiver from the icy kisses imprinted on my skin, and i only hope that you feel the fiery hatred that i radiate back.

Ok I used exactly 13 words ( If i forgot one let me know)
I tried out a new style... one that you use a lot.
Its my first try so ... if it sucks.. well ya.
I seem to be straying off to the random breakup poetry side.
I'm so ashamed of myself... but the last one won me gold 
I'm on a role maybe? 
prolly not
anywho this isn't my best
Constructive criticism is welcome ( and encouraged)

I think that it this has been brilliantly written, break ups make for the best writing material as you have so aptly proven,I really enjoyed reading this piece!

you write in a style similar to my own which made this a very pleasurable read quite amazing actually. i loved the set up and the use of the prompt and your topic is close to my heart. the line attempting to oppress the hurt was almost as painful as the original wound. was very well written and held alot of truth. my only suggestion is capitol I's some people get tweaked by improper grammar and for me its just due to ACT tests soon. :]
thanks for entering -

actually I borrowed your style I liked it soooo much and when i was trying to group up my word bank words i had a bunch of unrelated things so i decided that i might just have to try this style out
Thanks for the feedback
