bruised blue eyes and snow skin
storm winds blowing over (and over and over)
roses blooming redredred
unhindered by rain
"Just give me a moment, sweetheart"
the tear of soft skin marking a deadline-

i can't write sestinas, and i swear to god if you call me sweetheart
i'll melt, and not the stone cold melting into feeling sort of way, but
metal into red hot liquid that will take away everything, layer by layer
without so much as flinching (but don't worry, you'll flinch. i'll make sure

of that, and so much more.) trick me, i dare you to show me something
i'll never be able to name, never seen before. nineteen minutes and
counting (one, two, six, twelve), and i'm already a bottle down
(the drain) tonight, it's a hard burden, to love you--

love's such a strong word, though, and i've never really cared
for (you) it. but where was i, something about melting-
smothering everything in reach, petty problems that are
the norm for no one but me. funny how that seems to apply

to a lot more. me, and just me. never anyone else and then there's you.
always when i least expect you and it's been years, okay, fucking years
how are you still having this much power hanging over my head when
you weren't there. you weren't there. you weren't here (with me) but
i'm still misreading things, right? right. i'm still the girl wrapped around
your finger and somehow tying a noose at the same time-

(here, i made you a necklace, love[ly]. why don't you try it on and save
me the trouble.)
Look! I wrote something!

this stems entirely from my new found hate of sestinas and the fact that i can't seem to write one.

Edit 18-02-13; I am an idiot who cannot type and that typo is now fixed.

This does not flinch away from being unpleasant. I like. :)
