Description we made love long-distance
and not-quite-leaving
an art form

my forlorn reflection
and her quiet
storm flickering
freezing
a frame
all unfocused

we've been
hushed and
soft spoken
bits wed to
pieces in piles
of broken
parts
(between
miles
and memory)

see

his story
makes
the most
of
history

while hers
prefers
to masquerade
as mystery

and no intention's
path
is what
it appears
to be

truth is
I'm no
angel

she just
scares
the
hell
out of me

I scare the hell out of him and I hate myself for it. He says it's not my fault. "You scare me because you make me happy." I don't do it on purpose... I'm sorry.

In all honesty, I see absolutely no where this piece could get better. I read the first three lines, and literally, my first thought was, "this is perfect." Saying I love this piece doesn't even being to cover it. Nicely done

nawww.. way cute. I love the lucidity of "her quiet storm flickering" and the little, clever play on his story and history, but this:
"while hers
prefers
to masquerade
as mystery"

and the last stanza friggin' melttttttttt meeeee

MISS-teries?


This has a terrific rhythm... it reads like a soft, dreamy sigh, and complements the subject and the speaker so well. Also, loved this part:

my forlorn reflection
and her quiet
storm flickering
freezing
a frame
