Literature Text

i want to carve the life from my bones
and write something beautiful for you.

but if my words were blood,
i would not bleed,
because without them
and without you,
i cannot breathe,
i cannot be.

i want to steal the world from the sky
and burn it to ashes for you.

but if the oceans were love,
i would not need,
because without them
and without you,
i'm lost at sea,
i am not free.


                i'm nothing, love,
                nothing at all,
                nothing at all.
this is what i do when tumblr is down. ;]

repetition repetition repetition
is my new obsession.
(apparently.)

you seem to wander too much, and assume sentimentalism an far stretches of the mind. The first poem of yours had a purpose... stay, and it provided great rhetoric to enjoy the beauty of your scene so the reader coincided with your thoughts. you should try to keep that resolution of purpose or providing new insight to make the words reach people, you know.
