Description I drove on the wrong side of the street tonight, but only for a second. Just long enough to see I was the only one going the wrong way, just long enough to almost hit a couple people.

But there was nothing more than a scare...

I guess they knew who I was looking for. I guess they knew I wouldn't settle for anything less then a head on collision. So I can't blame them for getting out of my way, and at least I left them shaking because we almost hit each other. But they'll never know I'm shaking because we never did.

Maybe I should have listened when I was told nothing good would come from trying, Maybe I should have remembered that it would hurt like nothing else. I couldn't resist the chance to feel like only it could make you feel though, and I figured not to try was a form of trying anyways. So I crossed the lines and undermined what everyone had said.

Of course I came out safe and sound again. Even though I thought for sure 4am was the perfect time for a crash, you didn't show up.

I'm beginning to believe I'm on the wrong streets.

But I'll drive until I find you
Because I can't wait to break your neck
I'll be lonely if I miss you
And left alone to my own wreck.
They'll call it an accident,
But I crossed the lines to undermine what everyone had said.

And I did it on purpose.

Because I want nothing more then to see your face the moment you know it's all over, and you realize I'm the last person you're ever going to see. I hope our headlights break just like our bones, so when the paramedics ask me why I'm smiling so much, I'll tell them no one will ever hurt you like I did tonight. And for the rest of your life, when people stare and wonder how you got crippled, you'll have their answer, just whisper my name.

LOVE=CARCRASH

read it again... WINK 8P


This drove me crazy for awhile. Because it was just a good idea that I wanted to say a lot on, and do the best I could. I hurt my own brain far to often, and I should be restrained.

When I read it out loud I read it twice in a row back to back. The first time I call the poem crash, then I say I have a second and call it Love. And just read the same damn thing twice,

Well it was funny how I thought about turning this into a monolouge - my friend asked if I knew about you and so I said yeah, then she launched into this poem (she has it memorized), then she said "Love is a car crash" and said it again.

Instead of "more then a scare" it should be "than". The next line is a comma splice, which should really just be two separate sentences.

There's more stuff like this, and I could give you an in depth critique. Just tell me if you want it.

this creates a very complex range of emotions for me...but i admite it. beautifully written. its very moving, very thought-provoking. i don't think i understand it completely, which makes it more interesting.

trixstarking [2008-03-01 07:22:17 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow....

The beautiful emotion put into the words caused a stirring in my chest. My heart was beating rapidly; I could see the love through the words on my second read, and the hate in my first.

The way it is written is so ironic. To think someone could make a head-on collision so intimate...

It's amazing. This is definitely one of my personal favorites!

Guinnygirl [2008-03-01 07:05:21 +0000 UTC]

I keep reading this, and it still doesn't make much sense to me.

I like the concept of a crash of love or something, because that's kind of what love is, and unexpected, crazy thing...

But the part about smiling at the paramedics because you hurt someone so badly doesn't make sense to me. .-.

IMustBeAlive In reply to Guinnygirl [2008-03-01 07:12:39 +0000 UTC]

You just have to reverse pain and crashing into love.

By hurt them you mean in a good way, in a emotional way.

So the paramedics will see me smiling, because no one will ever make you feel as in love as I did tonight.
