Don’t mind all these broken bones,
They’re just left over from
the last time that you left.
Oh no, don’t move my heart,
leave it right there on the sofa.
Why the sofa? Well it’s not like
I have anywhere else to put it.
Um, just ignore my legs.
They’re old and crippled I know,
but they were all that I had.
My eyes-oh you can keep them.
I’m not sure they work though,
seems they’re always blind to something.
My muscles, those dumb things.
they never really did work out,
Haha, “Work out”, you get it?
you know, like you and me?
Oh, never mind.
About my lips, you can toss those.
They just won’t stay closed.
It’s no wonder I never shut up.
Have you ever wondered why I never shut up?
And where are my lungs? Did you take those?
That’s okay; I’m used to you taking my breath away.
Hmm, now what about the rest of my love...
What? You want THAT? Really?
I did not see that coming...

I don't think I've ever read a poem that has had both humor and sadness. This piece is amazing. You have a certain dark humor about you, which I really like, and it's clearly portrayed in your work. Please keep writing! (:

I really like how you introduced and deconstructed your character at the same time.its like you got to know them as they were falling apart. It shows the ugly truth behind a break-up.

No, Raven's leaving the Internet to get closer to God. Seriously, that's what he said. :( His stuff is still up-you can see his farewell letter and he comes every so often, once a month maybe. :)
