17: White NoiseI Don't Want To Remember You17: White Noise in General Fiction More Like This
Trying to get through to you is like trying to walk through a brick wall. You stand there with your cold shoulder and sneer at me, the venom spewing from your lips unlike anything I'd ever seen from you. I've been trying to understand what I said or did that pissed you off, but my mind comes up blank each time. We use to be so close, I just can't grasp how far apart we've fallen. I know time changes all, but I never expected it to change the relationship between you and I. Maybe I was too hopeful? Maybe I had too much faith in the fact that [I thought] you loved me as much as I love[d] you?

Day in and day out
I listen to your
internal storm,
the hale that clutters your mind
and tells you you're not worthy
of happiness and love.
Angry,
you struck me with your lightning
and I burnt to the ground,
flowing to the curb with the rain.
Then you picked me up
and your wind wiped away
my tears and whispered
"I'll always love you."

as I slowly fall apart.
Masked behind cheap alchohol
and a pack of ciagarrettes
I knew one day my
mistakes would come back
to haunt me.
[I should've known
you'd be the one to break me.]
No one can see
the pain I hold
deep within myself
because I play it off
like I'm okay.
When the truth is
I really want you to catch me
when I fall.

You grab my hand and say, "Love is a four-lettered word I associate with pain and heartbreak."
"You don't have to be scared," I reply. "I'm never going to leave you."
"Promises, promises. That's what you say now, but who knows what the future will bring."
Pressing a kiss to your honeysuckle lips, I say, "The future will bring happiness and joy. Wedding rings and a honeymoon night. Forever and ever wrapped in your arms."
You chuckle. "We're talking to verse, it makes no sense."
"It makes perfect sense to me."
"How am I so lucky to have you?"
I smile. "You dreamt of me and now, as you can see, dreams really do

You pick up my hand, wrapping your fingers with mine. "Distract me," you say, pushing your math textbook away. "My mind is being taken over by equations and formulas."
I laugh, pucking my lips. "I could kiss you senseless."
You smirk, your brown eyes glinting. "You could, and I would enjoy that very much. But...I want to know all about you. Your secrets, your dreams, your desires." You smile, squeezing my fingers.
I blush under your scrutinizing gaze. Biting my lip, I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know. I'm really not that interesting."
You chuckle. "Now, I know that's a lie. You're one of the most interesting people I've

B.O.X.Bewildering Objectified XenophobiaB.O.X. in Free Verse More Like This
by C. Elliot Boyce
A cavalcade of mysteries
Then life, suspense, and dignity
Erupts from this tiny chest of wonders.
From on high we came to destroy
The possibilities in this small toy
And perhaps erase all our future blunders.
For years ago, sent down one night
Came a box, and in it our blight
Because of her we were fiercely torn asunder.
Torment, pestilence, echoed through
That box, infecting the world anew
With war ablaze like the raging thunder.
Newfound evils entered us then
Followed by the screams of the innocent
As we succumbed, the spell we all fell under.
Famine struck, as well as d

Graces of a Goddess
by C. Elliot Boyce
In descent, life unveiling
A web of truths, thought derailing
Into something better. I ask to you,
Why do you taunt me, why do I bear
your burden, your cold, your suffering
Even past the glass barriers? And knowing
This, I look out the window, past the glass
And I gaze upon your face, out above the grass
And rocks, the gloomy earth, the dead of all
I want to take you with me, to embrace my fall
From grace into mania. O, angel, in your grace
I kneel before your majesty, tears on my face
That never existed until now. In the rain,
The fiercest storms, I feel your pain
Hanging on by a thread,

Dug je život za griješnu dušu kazna;

Anything at all.
In the depths of despair

As quick as a wink
You've gone from
rags to riches
And back again.
So in this day and age,
Darling, at this point in time,
You need to take the bull

Kiss normalcy goodbye
Forget your clichés
And live your life.

why do you take the lives of our fellow ones
so fast with long lasting pain

Why make bloodshed
the payment to our problems

Why have war

Why have a payment
