your voice as your words
bounce off the
walls. your syllables crack the
plaster and your vowels shatter
the light bulbs, showering us with
points of light and bits of
despair. I catch your anger in my
hands—throbbing like the beat of
your heart. somewhere in
the distance there is music playing
and its notes drift through the open
window, settling onto your
sardonic words. I expect a magical
golden glow—but the swelling harmonies are lost in your
dissonance. Instead I look into your
eyes and they are sparking but suddenly
it is futile and I laugh and
climb onto the window sill because
my apathy has given me wings and
I will be
okay. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 235 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Live2Die [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

I very much like this write. I love the lines " my heart beats in my head and it's rhythm matches" the best... but i'm sure that is my love of music talking...

Very nicely done!

With Love,
~Butterfly

Very nice write here...
I love the transitional ending...I try to do the same with some of my stuff...it can be difficult if its an emotional piece...
Love the last line...
Great job!
