total eclipse.

your words are sleek,
debonair.

i paint in charcoal and grayscale scenes,
wishing vaguely for an exit strategy
as health and liposuction dig fingernails
into backs of tigresses,
you ask me,
"is he perfect?"

- - -

& as i beg you for liberation,
to vomit up my innocence and salvation
i mention one last time
that i am not empty,
but sometimes i wish i could be.

- - -

my right arm is glass,
and you are the pebble.







smoke and mirrors;

    I love this. It's really beautifully written. I love how it ends. I just love the entire thing.

    "i mention one last time
    that i am not empty,
    but sometimes i wish i could be."
    ^^^Those lines are just amazing. <3

    I don't know what else to say except that I love this and it's just brilliant.

  • It's innocent, and breath taking.
    The innocence is almost not there, but it's faintly resting in the background.
    I love it, but I hope you feel better.

    this is amazing!

    "that i am not empty,
    but sometimes i wish i could be."

    there's nothing really I could say about this that would be coherent, so I'll just say I loved this! gorgeous poem.
