Toilet, Not, Two Words, Nothing
# 4 – TOILET
Tired of talking about love and how he broke me down, knocked me out, whored around/So I decided to talk about… being love’s toilet/yes i said toilet, so just listen – dont spoil it/ Love used me like a toilet and pissed all over me/left stains around the rim he never intended to clean/and the stench still lingers of the piss he deposited for free/love used me like a toilet and did the nastiest thing to me/he stood over me and regurgitated/words he couldn’t comprehend and over-complicated/disgusting remnants of verbs, nouns,and conjunctions he stated/love used me like a toilet and shit all over me/filled my soul with the foulest odor/emptying his emotional intake into me left me over/flowing full of pains constant floaters/and for the longest time love would come adn go as love pleased/giving me the time I needed to finally get the chance to breathe/since love cant seem to grasp the reason why the soap dispenser’s next to my sink of constantly running water/… this toilet’s finally out of order.
From Stillpoetic: “So I decided to talk about… being love’s toilet/yes i said toilet, so just listen – dont spoil it” Unexpected very unexpected man oh man. WOW this is vile…. but dam good writing. I mean I can feel it. very descriptive. You held it down right here. Dam this is just plain wow. it was unexpected because o the flow of the poem, and I mant unexpected in a good way. I like its the surprise. sometmes poems can be predictable and the man oh man = No words I can say. I understand the different and I am like wow she is killin the game
From Arrive__Arcane: now this is exploration!!!! you’ve taken the pain and got mad creative with it. brill. this is your direction and topic of interest and look what you’ve done with it. you wrote with craft and skill, substance and flair. i like this new but old feel to you. isly, i can dig this
# 5 – NOT
i am mystified/every time you come around i get misty-eyed/playin that game of he loves me/he loves me not/got/repetitive like so many petals i dropped/not/ because i was looking for a dream, that perfect partner for this two-man team/not/because i was looking for an answer but what i thought i had really didn’t matter/but/because in my reverie you were a king/treated me like a queen/and gave all of yourself to me/but that was just a dream/not/reality.
From Stillpoetic: can i say one word????? DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! :-O
From Arrive__Arcane: um um um…b-r-i-l-l
# 6 – TWO WORDS
it hurt
to think
that things
wont be
the same
you came
my way
didn’t say
one word
i heard
what i
guess i
chose to
from you
told me
that we
could be
some thing
extra ordinary
so it
was fit
i trust
this lust
but us
was just
a fling
a thing
you seemed
to think
was fake
a game
got to
see you
for truth
you lose.From Stillpoetic: different the two words thing is great. it is always fun to play witht he poetic style of writing. Girl keep on keeping on
From Arrive__Arcane: YOU MUTHAFUCKIN GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS. DAMMIT I’M BOUT TO WRITE RIGHT RIGHT NOW.
# 7- NOTHING
when
i close my eyes
its like
i
can visualize
us
we weren’t much
but
we
were enough
and i know that now
we shared
this soul
but we’ve grown
distant
the instant
i lied
we died
you look at me
you saw me
and i was nothing.From Stillpoetic:I can feel this one, really really feel it. I can see it. It is to the point and very openly emotional.

#7…I felt it. Damn. Well written.
#6…hm, interesting. I like it.
#4…wow…I loved it. Loved how you used ‘not’ all over…I’d copy paste my favorite line..but it’d be the whole damn thing.
#3…I LITERALLY said ,’oh! wow!’ at the end. I love love loved it. Wow…especially the soap dispenser…and just all of it. If you don’t make a book to purchase, you’re doing us all a disservice.
@lastingoptions - that’s right. tell her again options. tell her again. DISSERVICE
@lastingoptions - you know girl… i’m finding my words again if that makes any sense. it’s coming. shooting for 100 by the end of the year. think i’ll make it?

My favorites for the following categories:
Style: #6, the setup of it was ingenious….
Content: #4, You took a simple thing like a toilet and relayed it to real life…nice touch
Meaning: #7, it was the closest to a literal real life situation and I liked that…
