œuvre de fiction

By swing_the_hammer

isabel ringing in your head
when you wake up crying in your bed
i got blood cells, mostly red
break the body with the bread

twelve birds sitting on a wire
talkin bout water, talkin bout fire
i'm shaking and my need is dire
the most sincere- with the looks of a liar

well, the big picture's always the final shot
but what's the story, with no real plot
who wrote on the petals "forget-me-not"?
someone told me, but i forgot

in the morning, i'm scratched and bruised
and more than just a little confused
when i sleep all my energy's being used
i don't know how so i am accused

is a bell ringing? dream i'm flying
but somethings wrong- wake up crying
i think of the fortune i read aloud, sighing
"the saints are the sinners who keep on trying..."

    There's an energy to this. Last line reminds me of a clutch song. I'm with the fisherman. Not often will I like structure, but I like this.

    I loved that ending line. As I love most stuff you post. You're probably the only person that rhymes that I like. Good job!
