smoking poetry paper like cheap cigars.

I
am
falling
apart.

and I can't seem to fit words into the cracks
like so many times before. maybe I've been glued
by metaphor so many times. that
the descent.
broke me. beyond repair.

or maybe.
I'm just slowly working my way
into reality. and it's a place I never wanted
to visit to begin with.

and it hurts.

that's it. it hurts.
so I write. and I throw it away.
in hopes that everything.
that I felt when I wrote it. would go
with it. but then when the pen stops moving.
I'm left. with paper
riddled with dead stars in the form
of black.ink.words.

in short. the writing doesn't help.
and I'm here. needing sleep.
two cigarettes short of finishing a pack.

and. I give up.

I have been feeling this same way for a long, long time. I just haven't found a way to say it yet, although I don't smoke, I found myself suddenly wanting to the other day. Thank you for speaking somewhat for me. It's good. Really good.

You need a holiday with (good) friends, and no one you don't know around. So you can't concentrate on them, and you can concentrate on you instead and relax, have a little fun, and heal your wounds. *hugs*

Wow indeed. How excruciatingly painful to read. But, in your usual idiom, pain written like beauty and not like torture. Well done. Very sad to read. Damn. --Jes

This blew me away, you're words are fucking amazing. I don't think there is a word to describe how I feel about this. It's beautiful and it moves me in a way that almost makes me want to cry. This is definatly going on my favorites. -Justina

It's simple, clear and emphatic. the placement of the punctuation makes the tone of the words come through that much more clearly. this is really good. nothing wasted, everything in its right place. I like it!
