they all speak of your beauty
the way you prance above a mist
of delicately blooming flowers

flowing hair wild and free
dancing and rejoicing in the wind

but i have seen you
you are nothing more than a plain horse
with flowers weaved into your box-dyed hair
your movements staged and awkward

you're no unicorn
you're nothing more than an ignorant girl
who can't leave the empty spaces
of the fantasies in her head

The dewdrops that danced slowly upon the leaves just past the edge of my skull.
The creaking of the porch that held us up.
The sound of rocks under my feet as my shoes hit the pavement.
The feeling of a rested mind upon my shoulder.
The little picture that resides on an easel.
The vibrato of the silence that mesmerized the sound of the giggling to my ears.

Which would have been much less fantastic without the girl next to me.
I had hoped
she would suffer
the same fate as I,
salt kissed bruises harsh
against the ivory of her neck,
salt lingering between her tonsils,
drowning in the ocean of those eyes.

He saved her.
This is a follow up of my other piece, http://hellopoetry.com/poem/i-pushed-her-in/ .
I'm
crying
because
you left me,
like each tear
leaves my face,
the tears are falling
as you're falling for my grace,
a tear falls, slowly clinging to my skin
as I'm clinging to our love but it is the end,
In each tear is a memory of the love of you and I
as each tear is leaving my heart is saying good bye
In the 1st tear is your smile that makes my heart melt
the 2nd is your touch that's the best thing I've ever felt
the 3rd is the glint in your eye that shines like the sun
in the 4th is your lust for life that spreads to everyone
in the 5th is your faith in yourself, me, and humanity
in the 6th is your compassion and your empathy
who knows how many tears I will have to cry
before my heart can finally say
good bye

keyboard buzzing
remembering when you called me crazy
you were 'sposed to be my *baby
