She heaves heavy breath into my ear.
Whispering,
things I don't want to hear.
She tells me of my faults, plain and clear -

"I hate your sarcasm,
I hate the music you like,
I hate your attitude on life, I hate your hypocritical cynicism.."

I slump along these words,
die by her voice I
crumble in defeat for..
She knows all about me..
But, for a moment..
I sway along in the
heaving memory..

I notice that almost all of my sentences
appear to be incomplete ..
        they are..
A mere sound that waves along her body.

Kaoru,

I can't imagine these painful whispers in my ear.  I sense your pain here.  The write is good.

Beautiful, yet sad!  Wonderful words you penned there!   Tima

Yes Indeed, sometimes honesty is just horrible to hear. The truth can be VERY ugly
