The universe must be a teenage girl. So much darkness, so many stars.<br /> --me


I!

Regret

Sad notes

We played on each other’s

Paint-by-number pianos,

Needing some reason to believe

They could resolve and come together

Like us.

O!

I!

Tried so hard.

O!

I!

Tried

To speak into your coming-apart

Heart,

Keep it strong.

Now

O!

I!

Regret.

This is amazing. If you could give me some advice on my poems I would really appreciate it.

"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)<br /> <br /> "Upon his bench the pieces lay<br /> As if an artwork on display<br /> Of gears and hands<br /> And wire-thin bands<br /> That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]

that was cool, the pattern and repetition and it kept so much in the dark
