Description I said to him “Well, what do you know about SUNSHINE?”
And he said “Why don’t you let me teach you about PAIN?”
I told him “You’re a dragon just waiting to happen.”
He replied “You’ll get wet standing out in the rain.”

You said “I like telling lies with my mouth closed.”
And I said ”I write graffiti in invisible ink.”
I confessed “Sometimes your words suffocate me.”
You admitted “ I often eavesdrop while you think.”

I snapped “Your eye candy makes me sick to my stomach.”
He told me “You know, love is a four letter word.”
He advised “Say the words that are scary the loudest.”
I sighed “You say the only ones I’ve ever heard.”

I really like this piece, it remindes me of a particular deviant friend of mine. It showcases the chaos of thought.

I like how it's all a jumbled mess, yet fits so well... the only thing I would change is "you said I said it said" over and over.. for me it got over done to fast


but thats just me

Ehhg, now that I look at it the repitition of the 'i said, he said' is rather nerve grating isn't it?
Ick, I don't think I can fix it though, my brain wants it to stay the way it is.

Wow, great job Em! This one's sad, but it's beautiful. I love the last line, it makes the "you" in the story seem really dependent. Anything behind this?

That's a wonderful poem, and the style is very original. I love the conflicting opinions, you represent each side with very expressive words.

Thank you so much, it was actualy just a flailing attempt at obscurity. I'm glad that it turned out okay.

That's excellent.

I had something very similar in my head - but you managed it far better than I ever could.

So yeah, well done's to you.
