Taken From The Mind Of A Prostitute

by EssenceOfLace   Mar 7, 2008


This was an experimental poem. I saw someone do a poem with the brackets, and thought it was cool and interesting, so I thought I would try it.
P.S.
Not based off of personal experience

-------------------------------------

C'mon baby, one more time. I promise I won't tell.
You know I love you.
[Yeah, those lies sound sweeter each second]
All of 'em are so believable.
[Too bad they're fake]
Your wishful thinking is useless; especially with her.

Faking her way every chance she gets.
"Love will come find me,"
Too bad your {heart} can't agree with your {brain}.
(So keep searching)

Tick tock.
Tick tock.

It's almost time to leave.
Another backseat-
Another hotel room.
[Is it worth it all? Just to pay the rent]
(And the heroin?)
It's the only {faithful} thing she has.

A kiss on the cheek, but never the lips; Sorry sweetie, personal isn't their -style-.

Had enough?
"Not until I'm perfect,"
Yeah, I'm sure they'll think so {sometime}...

Cut a little deeper,
[with the needle as your {true} love]

Pretend you're alright,
Happy with the life you (CHOSE).
Ignore the encouragement; there's no way you could do better than {this}.

Sorry sweetie, they were right.
You aren't worth [the fight].

-Play that scene-

Over
and
Over...

Again
and
Again...

Remember who you chose to be.
Let's hope it ends at this.

-------------------------------

I'm not sure if this is unfinished or not, do you think I should add anything, or do you like it like this?

    I love the bracket and parenthesis. I've written poems like that before. This was deep and even though it's not from personal experience, it's still very powerful. The fact that you're able to write something so strong that's not from personal experience is a beautiful thing. Great job, you deserve 5/5.

    Interesting poem, very innovate write. I enjoyed in whole poem, it is random but truly remarkable. I don't prefer sarcasm in poetry but here you added some very effective hues with it. Truly refreshing idea and you managed to create amazing rhythm with broken lines on few parts.
    I don't see why some words are in{}; words that you put in that kind of brackets didn't actually made too much need to be highlighted in my mind, but that is my personal opinion, I just didn't saw the function of that.
    But overall you did fantastic job.

    This was really unique.... I like that it was a random poem, it proves how much talent you have when you can take something and make it your own, with your own emotion even though you havent been through that experience
