No Kind Words

THERE WERE

BLOODSTAINS IN THE

HALLWAY WHICH NO

KIND WORDS COULD

DO AWAY.

 

SHE SPOKE GUILT IN

EVERY SENTENCE

LIKE THE QUIET

TICKING OF A CLOCK.

 

 

THERE WERE

SOME THINGS IT

WAS BETTER NOT

TO ASK.

Author's Note

'No Kind Words' is also incidently a song by the Maccabees.

[just is]

wow deep and powerful, very nicely written. I like this.

[Beatrice Mars]

Oh, i love this. The imagery of the second stanza, the idea of sentences being like a ticking clock, that's so, so..so different to anything i've ever heard of...and the inverted syntax could sound so awkward, but it doesn't, infact it just sounds so sounds so great it could be a song...i keep rereading it and i love it more each time... I've missed reading your writing..*fawns over you completely xxxxx
