    It’s easier when you’re not around
    and I can entertain myself with sound,
    through earphones
    the tricks of guitar riffs and noise.

    It’s easier when I can forget
    the cadence of your voice.

    Or vegetating on a pleather couch,
    in my sunny mindless climate,
    I may unplug myself from here.

    Forget my grievances and doubt,
    spare me the drama and the view.

    I’m thirsting for a bit of quiet.

    If I’m not indispensable,
    if I am easily replaceable,
    then baby so are you.

    Yes, I’ve said
    I wouldn’t write
    about you,
    waste my ink and breath and sleep.

    Now I see,
    I simply have to
    drain this venom out
    of my subconscious.

    Smooth out ruffles,
    purge hard feelings, rid
    my mind of you.

    Tear the filter
    and the film that
    coats my vision.

    It has altered time and meaning.

    I will face my negligence,
    repercussions are self evident.

    So I cleanse my will with fire,
    lash the weakness of the body,
    punish to redeem my worth from pain.

    Gone haywire for awhile,
    now it’s time to come back down.

    I will walk on reason ground once again.

    this is how i feel about my work right now..

    you have got vicious self awareness, KX. do you travel at all? You'd write well, alone in some strange country, i bet.

    You don’t want me steady,
    you just want to jump
    onto my lap and claim me,

    want to bruise and clutch
    to feel all mighty
    and to emphasize my flaws.

    f*ck you arrogant child
    and f*ck your tantrums.

    Patronize me
    and I will turn out hostile.

    I can’t tolerate conspiracies,
    wide-eyed lies,
    they make my stomach churn.

    I will spoon-feed you
    your own vile medicine.

    Open wide, taste it and choke.

    ouch

    a cold punch to the face gets my blood up well

    but the question marks in my mind make it hard to find

    words that respond well

    to such a rancid smell

    as comes off that belligerent hate spell.

    -purging- expresses such a familiar feeling. When the bile starts filling up, I have to write about it; nothing else will come out until I do. Kinda funny writing such a bitter and scathing attack full of pessimism, then writing some risqué love piece when you’re finished; makes you feel kinda… masochistic… :X

    Absolutely relate to the last two. Mann...how many times I have felt driven to write, whether good or bad was of little consequence compared to the need to vent it.

    I’m setting bridges on fire,
    I’m leaving dead wood behind.

    Only those I love may hold on,
    only those I let will.

    I’ll vanish in smoke
    or walk away from the mob.

    Get up and walk out without a word.

    Without the gimmicks of drama,
    attention is cheap, juvenile.

    I just need to know…

    ...that I made a choice.

    I now own this act.

    Loved the delivery of this; short concise lines with a blunt meaning that can't be taken but one way. I thought the intro especially strong, but that's just preference as it didn't lag at the end, I just liked the flow ;)

    Very enjoyable read... it really does feel like a resounding, no-holds-barred conclusion... very nice job, and it's great to read your work again! been a while!

    Thank you all and you can call me whatever you like.

    as bjork whispers ice
    into my ear drum,
    I feel the grip
    of steel round my neck.

    chock up,
    dry salt tautens skin,
    im hyphenated,

    all I can do is
    cry and rust.

    i’m caught
    between the pauses
    of an idle heart.

    it skips a beat.

    i hide the sour love
    behind fake bangs,
    hoping these tremors
    will not last
    or reveal too much.

    everything I’ve rehearsed
    to say
    has crumbled at the tip
    of my tongue.

    everything I’ve done
    turned
    bottom up or
    completely fell apart.

    all I can do is
    apologize.

    Another notch on the heart,
    a tender slit opened up
    all flaws to the spotlight,
    now you’re apprehensive.

    To feel is to be skinned
    and rendered
    defenseless.

    So you treasure
    and gather
    yesterday’s errors.

    They’re all you’ve got now.

    Avoid at all cost
    those who could strip you
    again,
    awl through the armor,
    again.
    Do not scratch deeper
    than the surface of each other.

    It’s so much safer in a hull.

    In isolated comfort
    a glacial lie numbs
    the pain and in time
    no longer stings
    the pride.

    -infant- is great, and familiar... I sometimes think about some ex's that way, and sometimes think of myself that way...

    but -lacking on titles lately-:p is the jam! great flow and tone and just everything was great...

    ah yes! that's just it, right there. yum. i thereby suggest it be titled -fake bangs- :)

    As I read your words, I felt moved. I can really relate to this poem, so thanks for sharing it. I especially love the first line. It's a great way to start this poem... it really draws me inward.

    Writing is therapy, isn't it?
