Ah, there it is
The moment you realize
That one who once was yours
No longer is.
The sharp sting
A needle entering the skin of a balloon
Through a piece of sellotape.
The slow and painful deflation
As all air quietly leaves you.
No sudden explosion
(We've heard them all already)
Just one final exhale.
There it is.
Whether it be the unsolved mystery
Of a night you weren't privy to...
Or the smile evoked
By the flash of an unknown name
On a telephone screen.
All battles fought;
All battles lost.
Just two wounded soldiers
With no air left.
Trying to retain dignity
Head high, despite the wounds.
Resist the urge to hurl one last missile
Across the battle field.
Futile. Just walk away now.
Nothing left to fight for.
No need for assassinations.
Just another scar
To colour and decorate.
Well played old friend.
Good game.
Good game.

I've not been submitting work to Deviant Art due to a number of reoccurring copyright infringements and theft of my work, originating from this site. I'm shocked by the lack of protection for artists on here, the staff seem unable to enforce any form of copyright law.
Really disgraceful.
How do you expect to promote exciting work, when in sharing it with the DA community, it is automatically subjected to rips and bastardisations.
I've reported all of the following:
carnal-spiral.deviantart.com/a…
azruliep.deviantart.com/art/Jo…
mcolussska.deviantart.com/art/…
- All existing examples of copyright infringement. There are many more, but for some inexplicable reason DA staff are unable to remove them. I've provided links to the originals - and if any admins would care to browse my gallery, they'd see very clearly that all works belong to me.
To clarify, for anyone who is thinking about ripping my work and submitting it as their own: ALL photography on lithiumfx.deviantart.com and www.fayethomas.com is the copyright of Faye Thomas and MAY NOT be reproduced, sold, published or used without permission.

Very impressed by your portraits, some really brilliant shots here. Sorry to read you've had problems with people stealing your images; it's a shame that some people seem to have no respect for the work of others. I hope you can get everything straightened out and that it won't stop you posting here on DA!
