I. His heart (beat) is a tell-tale sign
that war never ends
(But when does it even start in the first place?)
The first shot reverberates like
the echo of something he never.even.said.
II. Obsidian orbs like glass
(but hardly as stable)
And she can see it in his eyes
Hideous
And
Lying
And
Fragmented
And
Lost
Eyes like glass
Like mirrors
III. You'd do anything, you say?
Think?
Know? You think you know.
Anything is only approximate
When it comes to (second?) chances
You'd do anything? You swear?
IV. Words, she thinks,
have their own conversations
Looking down upon (each other?)
And succumbing only to silence;
Silence, she thinks,
has its own language.
V. So many words
And nothing to say. Because really
What we have
(there)
is a case of
So many words
that all mean the same thing.
(And she says it over and over and over and he never even looks)
VI. Once she claims the role,
she notices just how much
she (enjoys? loathes? accepts?) Fits it
(like a glove that sticks to the melting skin)
VII. He used to let his mind race
but it seemed a competition never to be (won?)
And so now
his thoughts mingle
like a burden
when did it become an attempt not to break down? up?
Oh, how she would just love
to
see
(this)
is the color of blood
before it spills
VIII. They've long since
parted with unspoken conversations
and penetrated the desire that is
senseless companionship
silence
(she thinks)
Has it's own language
like something she
never.even.said.
A/N: Dood, chapter two D No way.
I was actually thinking of complaining about lack of reviews in this space, but I'm deciding against it. You know why? Because my reviewers rock. They own your soul. They're thoughtful, and constructive, and clever, and above all else, they're grammar is usually flawless. I'll take four reviewers like that over twenty tweenies any day.
And I know you are jealous of Eve, xxeviexx, who continues to beta my babble with increasing patience. Patience which I don't have, hence the fact that I will not bother looking for a synonym for the word 'patience' that begins with a 'b'.
