i swear you sighed
when you saw me,
or saw through me
analyses point to no,
inkblots point to yes;
but only fools put faith
into Rorschach tests.
{double take:
you don't see;
you don't, see
repeat what i said:
repeat after me:
repeat me:
repeat:
fuck
i echoed bloodlust,
stole your words
like you stole . . .
my primal heart
crossed viaducts
for you, you, you
andandandandand
other conjunctions
butbutbutbutbutbut
this isn't about you
as in part of speech,
but you as in YOU,
and how YOU
don't know ME
or at least care...
i could spit the same cliches
that i've told your past lives,
[but what difference
{does it make]
you happy?}
last night we were perfect for each other;
last night everything made sense;
last night you loved me.
then i woke up.















Critiques
What this translated to me was that you've seen someone, or known someone for a while who doesn't know you, which is to your dismay. Someone you want, or perhaps even love.
The vision is complete and while however explained in a complicated way, it's good to get the brain of it's ass and do something, but don't try to make it run a marathon, unless your me.
Originality is the greatest strength of this poem, barnone, however don't become so original that people can't relate to you, but enough to be considered amazing art, where it is.
The technique is hard to judge, since that it's part of your style to ignore traditional technique, so all I'll say is that the technique isn't a strength of this poem, I'm not saying stop writing in the unique way that you do, just... as in it's not apple juice's greatest strength to taste salty, but it's not necessarily that anyone wants it to.
While I fully grasped, and can personally relate to what I've assumed is the situation, there's not enough clarity to translate to any random person on the planet that they should feel pain for you. There's not enough convincing me that I should value the un-mutual love, but that fact alone is enough for any reader to feel bad for, even if it's not stellarly heart wrenching.
I'd try to add more to this, but I have work in the morning, but I'll definitely be looking at more of your stuff the next time I get the chance.
