Writers Break Egos not Hearts

by ether   Oct 24, 2008


In between us exploded into pixie dust,
Just like the paper you're holding in your hands,
Threatening to rip words not written about you,
I say 'I'm sorry' but only because you found out.

With your hands in a frenzy the words are torn,
You aren't crushing bones like you're meant to,
Just tearing at skin each and every time-
It's beyond you that I'll just write more.

Zone out, push me back in, I don't belong.
Secret handshakes only stay a secret if no one sees,
That is where I made the error, I was clever
Yet not enough to make you hear or stay.

Was this all you wanted? It's for you now,
Something written for you, and the gaps in your teeth
Won't whistle an acknowledgment this time,
I could never praise you in my words.

    This was very powerfull and filled with great emotion! I loved it! It was kinda painful for me. I really enjoyed reading it. I think the use of punctuation brings even more power to it...

    The concept was good in this poem. The flow was decent and the word usage was great. But what really stood out was the title. The title makes this entire poem. Simply because it shows the true point to the concept and it's original.

    I had a better time reading it because the title had me trapped to begin with. And the poem was right on the concept. Great write. Very interesting... 5/5

    I was expecting something else in this poem, like the absence of repetition but then its ok, I just said that coz you kind of noticing the repetition in mine.

    Just like the paper your holding in your hands,
    I think its should be youre instead of your

    You aren't crushing bones like you're meant to,
    You aren’t and you are i think is overdoing here

    Ive noticed as well so many I’s and I’ll But its ok, we all have different way of expressing thoughts. I dint mean anything about it, its just I thought you are not comfortable using them.
    Other than that, I think youre poem is great, you have youre own way of expressing your feelings.
