I was bored so I decided to revise an old poem

So here is my revision of I'm ready to walk away /pip/Forum108/HTML/000380.html


I'm sick of the arrogance
In your snarling voice.
Oh, those words that boil as you speak
It makes me feel
Like your sweat,  
Your mucus,
Your uncontrollable stink,

Like rain
That slips into the gutters
Forgotten,
Again and again,

But I'm ready to walk away
From all this hate
That lives within.

'Cause now, I've had it!

With the way your nights
Zip up my days
How your leaves
Are snarled in my rake
With old snow
Frozen deep within my throat

Oh, I've never been so ready
To walk away.

Wish I could find love.. But all I find these days are superficial fish in shallow waters.

I love this poem and the way it flows, as well as the great use of interesting images.

My favorite part:

With the way your nights
Zip up my days
How your leaves
Are snarled in my rake
With old snow
Frozen deep within my throat

Great read, great poet!

And as each player moves their piece, confident and tall
They forget that they can move themselves, in the greatest game of all
