What she did was take a storm of pills to say hello.
What he did was count to twenty while watching pretend snow.
What she did was etch a word of compromise in blood.
What he did was drive drunk, things hazy on the hood.
What she did was say that beauty is only skin deep.
What he did was blast the radio: Enjoy the Silence, then Creep.
What she did was say I don't want you to cry for me.
What he did was count backwards from one hundred to twenty-three.
What she did was say I never wanted you to go.
What he did was think of a color: calm rainbow.
What she did was say the only left were red and black.
What he did was wait for her so she could take it back.

ethome,
That's what I like about poetry: it makes the impossible possible.

I like the way this reads. It's like dialogue between two people in pictures...
