Question:A night of chemistry and crying
Committing suicide by cigarettes and slow songs
On some mix tape he made.
Each one screaming love, each one flaying off your skin.
Your brain burned with the magic words that made you love him,
Want him, give yourself completely, turn You into We, and now on that
Couch you’re You again with pieces gouged out where he used to fit.
The darkness caressing carefully like mother consoling wounded knees,
Vodka saying I told you so.
Eyes so wet, a heart so dry. The pain forever like the roses you
Pressed after your first date.
“He was the one,” you say to the rising sun, but it doesn’t believe it either
And there you lay, a tomb of sofa cushions waiting for the phone to stop.

I love how you juxtaposed very subjective feelings with concrete, realistic images.

wow....great job!!!!


sorry i can't think of a title...

BROKEN??? GREAT POEM DUDE BUT MADE ME FEEL DEPRESSED, BUT THATS U GETTING AN EMOTIONALLY MOTIVATED RESPONSE

I think your poem is great!..it's very realistic.
how about
the beauty and the broken heart
or
The beauty of a broken heart
something like that...lol
the title would be kind of ironic

but i think your poem is very good
=D

Depressingly Good.

How about "Couched But Not Out"

"Couched New Beginning"

"Throw Acid on me"

How about The Last Thing I Wanted? Or maybe not. It's good though. Really good.
