Doubtcohol (Free verse) by drnick
Sweetly I tear into The threshold of me and you. Quietly calling out For strength on a trail of doubt. But poison lips love to Blast words upon and through. Humid with spoken word My cold silence stay unperturbed. The fault fiercely cracked in two The Icon I thought was you. Blatantly broken you lay In my house and wish it all away. I loved what I saw of you A love for a cheap costume.

Up the ladder: No delusions.
Down the ladder: Absolution

Damned good, I didn't recognise the rhyme scheme until the second read. Last couplet is a killer; having just walked back through town in the rain I had to laugh at what people were wearing, or I would if I hadn't walked to a club, found a queue longer than a very long piece of string and strolled back again.

I meant to leave a message on your blogspace quite recently, actually, but when I got to it I just couldn't think what to write. Are you back at uni, or was last year your finals? If so, what did you finish with?

The capitalization is supposed to help, or you could listen to the song "jambi" by tool because I took the rythem from the verse. My parents are just coming back from england, they went to visit my grandparents in ferndown. I never left school, I've been taking classes non-fucking-stop, but ill be done this spring so i suppose i have that to look forward to.

If you take the "c" from the title, it will sound more like "alcohol." Capitals at line beginnings are not consistent.

"stays unperturbed"

It's a good poem in need of help.

The captials are for the rythem.

p.s. That's because I'm a good person in need of help.
