Beware broken hearts, glass and VHS -------------------------------------------
Why is she leaning over? Falling almost?
I am confused by this once upright citizen
tilting towards the sidewalk like she is drunkenly greeting a high school lover.
Someone save her, catch her before she hits the grim concrete
She will embarrass herself and perhaps splinter fragile bones or scratch already scarred skin
I can't do it because I am her unwilling reflection
tilting at the angle opposite her
every inch as pained as she is and
not ready to face the floor just yet...
She was very irresponsible. An eager mind but she never turned library books in on time and her reports always fell apart at the end.
She didn't eat well and her mascara was too dark for comfort.
She hugged too much. It showed dependence.
I didn't need anyone but she had to have everyone.
She watched Fight Club and Heathers last Tuesday and now, this Tuesday she is falling.
Last Wednesday she broke all her mirrors, and I was pained by the action but I snuck into all her glasses and door handles.
She can't look past me.
Its hard to feed an addiction with crackers.
Perhaps we need something stronger.
I really, really love the imagery in this piece. It's just such a unique view point, and style. You did a really good job here. However, there were a couple times when things got a little pretentious and sounded forced.
