Untitled Poem-1/12/15

You sound better in poetry.

You look better in pictures.

You smell better in dreams.

You feel better in flashbacks.

My poetry dresses up your flaws and covers your imperfections.

I like you better after I’ve dissected your personality, stripped it of everything I hate and erased the memory of all the things you’ve done to hurt me.

But your presence isn’t so kind, it completely destroys everything I did with my mind.

Reminding me of all the nights I cried.

You sound better in poetry,

I’d do anything to keep you there.

I am a writer and applied mathematician. I am an introvert who loves writing and sharing my words with the world. Poetry saved my life on so many different occasions so I know that words are incredibly powerful. I just want to be a source of light in this very dark world. The Introvert’s Escape Maneuver is my way of navigating life. Free-Thinking Fridays are the creative's playground. I post poems, think pieces and prose. Self-Love Sundays are when I post motivational pieces about life and the practical applications of Self-Love. View all posts by brianasymone
