I'm sitting here attempting to recompose a curl.
Something to detract from your absence.
But my lips have formed into a steady line.
And my hands move along everything.
There's your proof.
That I'm a mess.
That your figiting in the back of my mind.
If you would stop pounding on the metal doors
I would be able to think and let you out sooner.
Instead your knuckles bleed.
Don't worry my love,
I'll come to bandage your wounds,
just as soon as I can gain some composure.
And smooth out the wrinkles
in my already flawless dress.
There are sunflowers printed along the fabric,
that smile up at me a little too big.
Everything stands and stares as proof
That's I've lost something other then you.

Ooo...this was a very beautiful and creative poem. I enjoyed reading this very much. Actually, I enjoy reading all of your work. I really liked how you described the dress in this poem. I thought that was a very nice touch. Beautiful poem! Nice write you have here.
