I am the [myth]

By Six-Out

nicotine dreams and the absence of denial
cast like a seascape of something
/better than -(nothing)
are there enough words left to pray

an epiphany of sorts
of what was there before you knew it
the single touch from the god of your yesterday
as words fall down around you
a glass house that shatters so easily
when your breath is a stone

you are your own broken dreams
watching your sanity slip with every glimmer of hope
trying to reconstruct what has fallen
in the shadow of a long lost muse

mocking indiscretions
as the smoke rises from the tray
the ashes fall into obscurity

I am this pain
can you feel me breaking you

I am the [myth] of a better two.morrow

Very awesome write. The lines Armand indicated, the fourth line, and the last line were particularly impressive. Great job... kick ass... but don't forget to let it go in the end ;)

you have masterfully weaved the smoking theme thru this very powerful piece. your brilliant "glass house...stone" metaphor is what inspires mediocre plagiarism that can never match such an amazing arrangement of words. very impressive write.

you've improved quite dramatically since i started reading you. you are still a fag, but that's ok, cause you write very well. the glass house/stone breath line was stunningly beautirific.
