chaotic images of sparkling divinity and evil
 

acid words burn into my skin
but one girl's poison is another's candy
one rejoices in another's demise
as i get whiplash from her hair

he's reading this
and i get shoved into the spotlight
i lost my crystalline eye shadow
too bad, cuz i need it now

trying to be better and
trying to suffice
gets painful when it doesn't work
like climbing a mountain with suction cups

he breathes on me but he shines on her
what are we doing, this is confusing
my mind more than my heart can't take rejection
is this what i'm worth

now she's laughing sweetly
but i'm immune to the sugar
we all want something beautiful
but all i see is a manufactured doll

where is the divinity?

sometimes he lets me know i'm in his head
and not on the ground
but he always makes sure i know
that i'm just another girl

my confusion is contagious
he leaves the antidote on my answering machine
i had found comfort in the rainbow people
they shed light from their pores you know

so where did she come in?
probably when i was scraping my dignity
off the walls of his locker
oh well.

it's odd how people twist eachother
kind of like twizzlers
whatever makes mouths happy..
that's what they wanna be

do i want to be that?

thinking about him leaves me breathless
thats what its like being at the right hand
of a capricious lover
but love's so much more beautiful when it's complicated

i imagine the divinity in him...

and the evil in her.
 

poetic comments: i bet you can't guess what this is about! it's quite simple really. another poem about nick and his gal, but this time with a twist. the acid words were things like when basically told me that he didn't wanna be around me. that should have made her happy, so it was my poison and her candy.
2nd stanza doesn't really make sense. i knew he'd read it though, and i was surprised he didn't get all weird about it..maybe he didn't know it was about him lol.
3rd stanza...i always felt like i was trying to be something for him but it was never good enough. it got annoying.
4th stanza, can't tell you exactly, basically he wants one thing from me and everything else from her..kinda sucks. i felt rejected again. worthless. yeah i know, cry me a river, right?
5th stanza happens to be my favorite, she laughs a lot but i don't see what's so great about it. all i see is another girl. who replaces me all the time. where's the divinity in her, y' know?
6th stanza...yeah sometimes nicks acts like i'm his friend, and he can be so fun. but something always happens to change that.
7th...um...i get confused, he doesn't ever call me so the answering machine was just a poetic thought. i had gay friends who make me feel better.
8th, i was wondering where she came in cuz she used to not be that important.
9th...people change eachother..they wanna be whatever makes other people happy. that's what i want to be at least. or do i?
10th stanza...i'm stuck on him, it bothers me, but that's just what it's like, can't really do anything about it. and i do think love is better when it has a twist. :-)
so, i imagine that he is the best thing ever
and that she is the evil of the universe.

hehe...'nuff said. :-)
