Have you forgotten?
Every passion,
Stolen from your arms,
Desperate innocence lost...









Vanished.











Disappearing into what's left of you,
Fading with this...
Oh, why is it?




...Our first beautiful but last numbing embrace?
Tell me it's a sick, deceiving moment...
A battle with your pale, beating heart...
Denial.

Cold.
Feeling...



No longer.~







Is this what we've become?
Never knowing...





~The glitter kissed my lips as the rain fell to comfort,
All that's left of me...
What will still remain...

Once you're erased?~

Written, your writing is amazing and personally I like all the spacings it makes you use you imagination to think whats next and when you get to the next paragraph you can see if you were right.:)

I used the glitter as a metaphor. It's referring back to something personal. I guess this is meant to be confusing.

I'll be honest.. I didn't really get this one; the glitter metaphor seemed misplaced.. Maybe it's a girl thing? And the spacing fought against the poem.. Sorry to come across so negative but yeah..
