He didn't, and that was that.

There's no going back and erasing the past.

Life's too short not to forgive and forget.

Sometimes, there's just no time to justify where everything went wrong.

Time is a battle, a war you won't win, but you gotta push along.

Keep moving forward, you can't change the past or make it come back.

He didn't, she didn't, they didn't. It's time to accept and be okay with that.
The daily for December 6th, by Sean Critchfield titled "Poem By Chance" (check it out, it's amazing), was an exercise using the seventh book on the shelf, the seventh line on the seventh page as the first line, and only seven lines. I hope I did it right.

i wonder when my skin will feel safe and comfortable again
i know you don't want to be
in this small room that smells like
my grandmother's clothes
(she died five years ago, did you know?)
your hands are on me and we can go ahead and pretend it feels natural
we're kids playing at being grown ups
with mommys high-heels
they have you walking on hell and the shoes are much too big
for your little feet
and the boys, wearing their father's ties which are much too long
they've got daddy's guns too, in the trunk
they've got daddy's drinking habits too
and you've got your big sister's cigarettes
why do they call it seven minutes in heaven when
this feels much more like the
firey place they call hell
we're all smiling, we're all laughing
we're upside down and floating in the sky
asking ourselves why
because we're too shy to say these words
aloud
too high to say these words
underground
we can leave the closet now,
its been far past seven minutes

You're one out of seven billion.
That means there's about 6,999,999,999 other people
perfectly capable of taking your place.

You're seven billion out of one in my head.
And for some reason I am completely
incapable of getting a grip on anything else.

Roam the seven seas,
My hair tangled by the mild breeze,
Oh how much I feel at ease!
Who cares if I freeze?
It is not like i have a disease.

Scourer the seven seas,
My best friend at my side,
Even if he lied,
Even if i cried,
Were still in this together till the end,
No going back my dear friend.

Seek the seven seas,
How wondrous is might be!
So close to the end,
Too bad we cant extend,
this journey with you my friend.
I know we been threw a lot,
Always getting caught.
But it is time to depart,
Right where it seemed to start.

Wondering the seven seas,
All alone on an empty ship.
It seems kind of lonely,
With out him, my friend Tony.
But i will never forget,
About all of the threats,
We came across together,
Because i have to admit,
I will remember them forever,
As long as i have my living spirit.

First there was just five,
But then it went to seven.
Now there's five again.

Together
           Forever.
                                         True
                                               Love.
                                                                   Beautiful.
                                                                                             Caring.
                                                                                                                    Us.
No. You are my **seven deadly sins.

Sometimes the sins laugh
frolic chuckle and gasp,

whenever wrath sits there
calm and tranquil, unending care.
when Pride takes precious time,
to look up and face humility,
to remove the thin veil,
to observe another person and care.
when slender lust embraces
for another, soothing the soul
creating safe sanctions - free of sale.
when      g r e e d      gives        to       charity,
               providing,
      safe          havens,
when sloth feels the urge
to work, forging iron bars
and even making emotions and life time scars
when gluttony shares his
fries, and full course meal
when envy faces the sins - and says
‘it’s okay that lust is more curvy, I know I’m happy’

This is all a façade of course. envy said it with morose.
gluttony? He had another meal, and another meal right after that.
Mirrors reveal the real corpse. sloth daydreamed the dream.
greed? what else but the space he took?
How can we be something else. lust has lackluster snide, snark and ***
Pride? He has a deeper veil - one that escapes his avail.

Sometimes the sins want to be sinful.
And sometimes wrath wants to be wrathful.
I tried to expose some of the lies and facades people play out during their day to day lives. I did so by contrasting the apparently changed sins to the grammatical structure. Find the clues :)

Anger
jealousy
two things that take up the most room in my mind
overpowering any other emotion
who else is looking at you?
who else are you talking to?
who else
why do you give that person more attention
when I'm right here trying to keep my cool
it's a fire I cannot control
I'm sorry I am easily angered, easily jealous
because someone somewhere has something that I don't
someone somewhere gets to see you, hold you, touch you
and I don't
who else is receiving your attention when it should be me?
who else are you saying affectionate things to besides me?
it's not something I'm proud of
ugly thoughts that fill my mind
because you are mine
but you're not

and it makes me
angry
jealous
**a fool
Decided to mash these two together c:

Fire
raging inside
a demon waiting to arise
a succubus lying in the shadows
gasping, begging for release
your name tingling on my tongue
my mouth dry from crying out
it's out of control and I love it
my chest rising and falling
as a symphony of gasps and moans fill the air
my body shining with sweat as you push me
over the edge again and again
at the end of the day
it's my name you're whispering
my throat too sore to say anything
press your palm to my chest
feel my heart beat out of control
for you
Kinda took the idea of the seven deadly sins from my girlfriend, she's already done one so this is my version! I plan on doing them all individually
