Write like you bite,
(for freedom, for a fight...)
Make me correct. Make me
pink, red, blue... any colour but white.
I am sick when I miss you -
like forgetting the way back.
I'm finding silver and vodka
but I'm losing my track.
My heart could break a glass -
if my hate had a voice.
I would hurt, like the rain -
if you gave me a choice.
I remember your eyes -
like the colour of Winter.
Not October - but colder;
even more like December.
Splinter - February the 19th:
said through your jaw.
Hot as blood - hot as vein.
Am I your daughter any more?
His hands – now just a memory.
Do you remember me at hospital...
at all?
Was I really beautiful?

Hmm, no sexual humor I see, so what does skitza find funny?
-
-
Not a lot.
-
-
Wouldnt dare to, only asked to test the limits of your capabilities, as you can see you have me at a disadvantage, having two heads and only one brain.

But one will always dominate the other, one head, two brains...

I have a split personality. I am cut in half. I am 50/50. I am 50%. Half cut and half cocaine. I am insane. I am Pisces AND Aquarius and don't you forget it!
-
-
Which are you now, Pisces or Aquarius.
As if a name would tell it all, is that not the first sign of a fall? -
-
I am both.
-
-
February 19th, a Pisces, huh, whats that in chinese?
-
-
Pieces or Aquarius. Depends on what day it is...
Chinese? No idea.
Who are you?

I drank a 5th of Vodka a day, standard, at the least, for a very long time.
"My heart could break a glass"
are you alluding that your heart is emitting a high pitched scream loud enough to break glass? If so, that's a really powerful metaphor.
I wasn't expecting the shift of focus at the end, but it blended in well. Dig it.

-
Shift of focus? I can't see that.
Thank you... again.

This tears at the heart!
Has the feel of emotion
cutting the screen and
reaching out!

Love the opening lines...
Write like you bite,
(for freedom, for a fight...)
I am guessing that this is the love/hate relationship of a father who wasn't?
Sorry, I'm not very good at interpretation! lol
no matter what the meaning, this is beautiful in that it could be ambiguously interpreted, and being a songwriter myself I would love to be able to pen in this fashion - great flow and rhyme, simple and cutting and yes....ambiguous!
Well done, my new friend!
and thank you for entering my contest!!
