Array ( [sid] => 42982 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => headspace explained [time] => 2004-04-12 23:58:47 [hometext] => an explanation to the simple lyrics of my ambient/noise track --headspace--. it's better to hear the track itself, but i guess the story will suffice. if you'd actually like to hear the track, pm me. 51 [bodytext] => the rain stained her skin
like blood
like accusations
but it was the stain on her soul
that burned the most

she fled into the night
she fled into the rain
drenched in their blood
driven by voiceless accusations
and even after they died
even when she was alone in the woods
she could still hear their screams

(it's all headspace)

wandering through the forest
the rain still pouring down
she whispered her secret deeds
to the silent trees
and begged for forgiveness
from those who weren't there

inside it felt so hollow
as her mind reeled with psychosis
and waltzed with vertigo
a million colors painted her world
but they all looked like blood to her

(it's all headspace)

long after her mind let go
she began to claw at the earth
as if to exhume the corpses
that she had left behind

she crawled into the watery hole
and drug the fresh wet earth in to cover her
her head still exposed
the rain still falling
she screamed and screamed and screamed

(it's all headspace)

everything turned to peace inside
(letting go)
the hollow filled with a warm air
that tasted like spring
and smelled like pleasant memories
(letting go)
and though her eyes rolled back
and her head lolled to and fro
inside her mind
she ran gaily through a sunny meadow
young and careless and free
(letting go)

the spirits circled her half-buried body
staring down
not with anger or hatred or even betrayal
but with a sadness that the dead should never know

and in her meadow
it all went white for just a moment
and everything felt cold
as the spirits drew the breath from her
and left her
alone
in her grave

it's over for her now
she's back in the meadow
with no memory of anything else
just picking flowers
and chasing the sun
and running with her bloody friends

(it's all deadspace) [comments] => 4 [counter] => 191 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Whoa . . . every time, I think you've gotten as good as you can get, and every time, you outdo yourself again. But I don't think even you would ever be able to outdo this. It's about as good as they get and I'm left stunned, awed, and juuust a bit jealous. Okay, more than just a bit . . . but yeah. Some of the phrases . . . damn. Like

"a million colors painted her world
but they all looked like blood to her"

and

"the spirits circled her half-buried body
staring down
not with anger or hatred or even betrayal
but with a sadness that the dead should never know"

So trademark you . . . the epitome of your writing. UFYPMOTGF, and meant sincerely. Now I'm going to sulk enviously in the corner, I think.
