Topic: you want to write?

you want to write a love poem
about the bleak, detroit lights fading
as they faded in the bay
or the style of dress she wore
or the last kiss

but these words often have no meaning at all
just a paper-cut
a small wound that
bleeds for a minute and then is forgotten

so you want to write about the darker things?
the hospitals, jail, madhouses...
the particular take on any of these experiences
shows a glowing beauty

for life
for chance

maybe you'd really just like to write about the endless nights
but you have an allowance of words

we question artists like they were sinners
and our question is the confessional
but we are sitting on the wrong side

i find myself staring in the mirror,
recognizing that i no longer recognize
the blonde, blue-eyed boy
but he's in there until some trigger takes him out

your dreams are your dreams
you own them until you lose them
panting in a cold sweat before the sun rises,
begging for understanding.

never beg.
we've died a thousand times, and the next will
surely
be more interesting than the last.

you can't control the heavens any more than the earth,
or your place in between.

i've spent a lifetime watching.
but time, old friend, old fiend,
you never watched after my life.

By the way, this isn't addressing what anyone else is writing on here. I've needed to clarify that before this.

You know I barely comment on responses to my work. I'm not in it for a name. That's why I ghostwrite.

But, honestly, if I talk to any human being with a vagina the person stalking me on here gets jealous and it's not worth it.

I love all of you and appreciate your support.

Yeah, she does. She just thinks I'm a pathological liar which feeds further into her dedicated insecurities. Also, she's obsessed with the idea that she isn't worthy of any love, so she projects it towards the idea that she's constantly doing something wrong and thus she's unlovable, instead of considering any other possibility.

In other news - hope you're having a good day at work. *smile*

That sounds healthy. So why does she stalk you, do you have a history with her or something? Or she just likes your poetry?

It's wonderful how Colin never mentions that "the person" who is "stalking" him is his girl friend. So he doesn't have a history with her, he has a present. And she likes his poetry.

You seem nice, Leigh. I'm sure you have a lovely vagina.
