Description there's no imitation for song,
        luminescence,
no other way to say-
                                  anything.

       among the ashes of cigarettes, under red-lights
on the turnpike,
          in the cold light of the sky
-line your words with electric sunlight
streaming through an apartment window
    
wake up this morning
  to cold coffee: dishes piled in the
-sink [into the absence of warmth beside
             you] come home in the evening
    I will not be there to greet you at the door,

take your coat, or speak soft nuances that hint at

   me;
      loving you

Cold coffee. That always reminds me of being alone.

I understand your feelings. I am sick of someone's crap, too.

She started it again. D:

But the poem is beautiful, dear~

The thing to do is to distance yourself, I think.

Also, thank you.

I am. It's difficult when you go o the same school, unfortunately, but she doesn't have any of my classes.

No problem! I might be slow replying to messages; I got lazy when I had my subscription, and am now sifting through messages.... >>;

The description is phenominal =]
And every poem is about love. It's the perception of love that give poems meanings.

Thank you, lovely. It's only beginning to make sense to me. Others have to explain it.

I don't know how you say it doesn't sound like it makes sense <_<.

I love how I can feel the emotion of this. It feels like that sad sort of determined finality to me, and those final lines just kind of pull at my heart.

I'm impressed, too. You've improved so much since I was last on here :b. Keep it up!

Improved? Thank you, those are words I love to hear! There were some minor issues going on, is all. A poet needs pain. DX

I'd say not love, but faded love, someones sick of the other person's bullshit, so they left. It speaks volumes to me

Ah, but which one is the one who left? The speaker? Or their subject? :/

5-Shots-Of-Life In reply to grey-skies-industry [2007-09-14 01:26:49 +0000 UTC]

It can be taken as either person, but, as for my exprience, the speaker left. She misses him, but just can't stand to be with him.
