HURRICANE

In the void sheets of rain,
my restlessness never expected
a (roaring) call,
from waves beyond ocean's
identity I had deemed invalid.

[coughing disbelief to budget
wasted space multiplied by nothing].

He escaped from safe windows
I planted along lighted garden;
his only want, to endow his emotions
for the resistance of my heart.

{with body bended stiff,
tired of hiding actual
passion,
too widespread to destroy}.

While the waters held back their veins,
lost in blue mixed by distant brothers,
I unlocked my soul's thoughts
to hear the response overwhelm his beat.

With this uncaged storm of hearts,
we uncover truthful silence
that we've been watching for too long.

It is time {without struggle}
we take commitment,
participating in the rush of
devotion.

Last Straw

You broke my heart
Not the other way around
You twisted my words
Made is as if I pushed you to the ground

The last straw came
The day our one month would have been
You showed up on my doorstep
With a breath soaked in gin

You told me you still love me
That you never should have let me go
You asked for me back
And i screamed at you no

I guess that was your last straw
The event that did you in
They found you back in your closet
With a belt tucked under your chin

I went and wept at your funeral
I sat in the very back row
Wondering what would have happened
If i hadn't said no.

Well, due to the fact that only two people entered, I will give both of you 7 r/r/c! That's the beauty of when no one else enters ;)

Both of your poems were awesome! And gave me a new idea and look for Andrew McMahon and how he comes up with songs and stuff.

Expect me to give you the r/r/c within the week :)
Thanks to you both!
