Temporarily forgotten words in tangled curves of lust.

By Possesion

I saw the coming storm,
And I was steadfast.
But it hit with a force,
I couldn't hide the emotions behind my mask.

I can't wear the bonds anymore,
Of our broken love.
So on my wrist...
There is a bare empty space.
Where there once was a glittering lie,
Filled with lust
[Bright as candle light on our backs.]

(Always and forever I've wished it were love)

I Saw the clouds foreboding,
Steadying the wind
[In my chest]
I Caught my breath.

And then in the most bastard Fashion..
[You went and IMed me]
Spread your .text.
Because you were too big of a coward,
To walk to my home.
To pick up a phone.

The scabs on my hand,
Look like decay.
And the smell of my hair,
Is still as fragrant and sweet,
As you left it.

Oh boy you'll regret it.
(Waste and waste away the day we once longed for eachother.)

    You very effectively conveyed the anger. You really poured yourself into this piece. I hope it was cathartic. Great write. JD

    Despite what your loss would mean to the talent level of this site, (no offense anyone)I wish you had had a happy and longer child hood. This was great.

  • A former member wrote: Oh good god...you and I, dear, seem quite the pair when it comes to writing along with one another's lives (not that I know much about yours...but what I've read hints at it.)

    …Your work is often beyond your years. I plunged into the squall of the first stanza and particularly reminisced the somber second stanza ‘Bright as candle light on our backs.’ A nostalgic penned beginning a contrast to his foolishness following…

    and a ricocheting ending remembrance of decay absolved by the line ‘And the smell of my hair, Is still as fragrant and sweet, As you left it.’ Lovely. ~m~

    Thanks so much AK for that comment (it was well worth my time) And the compliment was well ingested (writing beyond my years..Pfft..watch out my ego might swell into it's own being and suffocate us all)
