reminiscent of a certain step by *YouInventedMe:iconYouInventedMe:





truth be
told
you're one
of those
misguided
souls
who're pre-
disposed
toward picturing
perfection
given flesh

toward spending
your whole life
holding
your breath

as for the
featured
sweet release
I fear you've
built her
piece
by piece
and forced her
fully formed
from
the mirror

a dream
that dissipates
as you
draw nearer

a wondrous
wish
(when un-
fulfilled)
who pirouettes
on pedestals
'til tarnished
with a
single
witnessed
topple

fantasy's
a fearsome
act
to follow

fantasy is indeed a fearsome act to follow.

this is wonderful - it plays like two different melodies; one in sound and one in my mind. (though, in my mind, the message is somewhat foreboding).

It's hard, growing up

to realize
this isn't
another cartoon.

I love this, but out of curiosity--why are your lines so short?

"...the great tragedy of the world is not that people suffer, but how much they miss when they suffer. Nothing is quite as depressing as wasted pain, agony without an ultimate meaning or purpose." ~Fulton Sheen

i love the topple/follow connection. if i was one of those legit school-doctrinated writers i'd remember what its called- slant rhyme, maybe? either way, good stuff as usual.

"with that said, i'm leaving today
i got some concrete ideas and they've been pavin' my way
to all the downtowns and urban decay
there's so much life in these bricks, so much buildings can say"
:iconsnow-machine:
one of your most amazing pieces I think...I love the different spins on your collabs, you definitely don't fall for the obvious.
