diamonds rest in the black eyes
broken by the glass bottle
its the flesh that is only cut
never my words that tell you deciet
tears burn acid rocks into the ground
my grasp on the bar grows older
and it holds the meaning
of a bloody tide on the shore

Windows stained with the fog, words written in by a girl.

powerful mix of angsty emote and imagery...
a haunting surreal write,
well done poetess Riley.

You're the best I've ever felt ...
it's so wrong not to be with you.
It's getting harder to stay away,
it stops my heart just to be with you.

This is interesting, Riley.  Difficult to understand, but I'm going to try...

Judging from your title, this poem is about helplessness... your grip on the bar grows older, your tears burn acid rocks into the ground, and only the flesh is cut... it's a kind of struggle you describe, isn't it?  A struggle to understand, to see, to listen... and to actually comprehend the meaning of the bloody tide on the shore.

Fascinating... and pure imagination... this is the kind of writing I love to read from you, Riley Leanne... stuff that just captures and captivates me like I know you can.

You've got talent, that's for sure...
