I. Look closer

you'll (see?) it

it's lines and

clouds

and hammers and chords

and those

masochistic kisses

from tired lips

II. She's all contrasts

nothing like you'd

imagined

(remembered?)

It's modernized love

and

opposite attractions

and slow stares

from changed eyes

III. He's (discarded, of course, by now)

memories

forgotten ailments,

something like

that

anyway,

is irrelevant -

(reality, love, is

irrelevant)

IV. Say yes

say yes

say yes

say yes

just like what he

(wants?)

His words

no longer seem whole

fragments of fragments

of stolen commands

if only you'd stay

go

leave this place

(but don't forget to return)

V. Someday soon

not

too far off

you'll grow into your face

your body

your name

you'll fit your shadow

those harlequin outlines

that follow the scent of bloodlust

VI. make it work

foolish girl

hardly grown

hardly different

(still the same?)

He's not

so step back,

you'll go off

forget

regret ever caring

start soon

hold your breath

A/N: Gosh and bother, what's this? She's still at it? Well, whatever. I'm sure you've all got better things to do, I sure do - Cameron's dean of medicine tomorrow, I'm sensing chaos! But for now, I'm stuck massaging my temples and popping Advil. Life's a party with Nikki.

Anyway, some borrowed phrases include:

Reality is irrelevant is a line that's used, I suppose, in many random things, so it doesn't really need to be excused. But I stole it from House, which I (still) don't own.

Say yes (in that repetitive order with that emphasis) is technically from Taking Back Sunday's Set Phasers to Stun.

That's pretty much it, I think. Good stuff.
