this is where everything
goes wrong this is my
goodbye to you, although there
was never really a hello
this morning, we were invisible ghost's
pulling at strings and
we both can't see because
our cold eyes fog over with regrets
so now, i'll see you again
this afternoon with a different view
trying not to myself over by
asking the most stupid questions
and i'm not going to be the one
who says sorry first because i'm
so ing sick and tired of
being the one to apologize
and your nothing short of beautiful still
imisseeveryshotthroughthenettedhoop

and my hands are tied
can't pick up the phone anymore
i don't want to feel i don't want
this doubt of feeling in my soul
i stay numb for the clearing of my
insides out and it's eating away
and why did i stop that day at 15 when i
should have stopped until i dropped
down six feet under so i will never
tell you these things and i will
rip this up and throw it in the fire
as with my soul, which i've sold
i've sold my soul so i can
have no more sympathy but so i can have
more apathy to rely on instead of you
because, when you say you understand
i know your ing high i know,
your in his arms crying
over how much you've thrown away
well your one more thing that
I've thrown away.

Hey---Jessica...WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME YOU WERE A NATURAL?!! This is actually REALLY well done---Mmmm, just wait for Local Parasite to pick this apart! Lol, j/k

Well, let me be the first to say---

WELCOME TO PASSIONS, JESSICA!!!

Hehe! Mmmmm---and let me be the first to warn you, that those "****" reflect your potty mouth, and that's one image we dun want here---comprende?

But I LOVE the somewhat cryptic metaphors you used in this---it REALLY suites you Jessie-Kitty! Nicely...nicely done! I actually enjoyed this! Keep at it! Your work will always be welcomed on my end!

All I do, is think about you...

I'm here at last!  Thanks for the drumroll, Alex...

Well now, Clumsy, I do intend to give you a reply... but as you don't have a critique flag enabled, I can't give you a lot of specific feedback, exactly.  

First I have to be assured that you actually want someone to "pick apart" this poem, before I'm permitted to do so.  I am sure you understand why this guideline is in place...

I can tell you though, that I also liked the several metaphors you employed... you did a good job of thinking up creative, original ideas in order to express the meaning of your poem.

I have a lot of critical comments to make, but I'm holding my tongue until I'm told my criticism is welcome.  It's just common courtesy, you understand.  

Welcome to Passions, I hope you have fun reading, replying and sharing with the rest of us!

Welcome, welcome.

I see your other post got pulled which I am pretty pissed at but anyway. This one is another great display of your writing. You've really extended the initial topic and delved into some wonderful concepts. I'm quite impressed with this and I look forward to seeing more of your work around the boards.

Remember to reply as well as post.

ahhh...I know a Jessica, but maybe it's a Jessica I dont know about?

About the poem, it was written as though you just wrote and wrote and cut and paste and wrote again
I liked the flow of thoughts though- it mirrored what a heartbroken and half enraged teen would be thinking after a break-up or a fight or something of the sort. Nicely done Jess.


Welcome Jess!


Hope you have a great time here, hope to read more soon!
