Old.

Old.

A Poem by Sapphire Balasquez
"

TOTALLY not what you think it is.

"

No doubts in my fevered dreams,

Climbing stairs
And falling down again
Change is…
And you look the same
Just different
We don’t know each other
Not any more
But for the purpose of security
And memories
We pretend to be our old selves
For that time
While the clock angrily
Ticks away
The moments until we part again
The glass shows
That a rock has formed
Why is Fate so lovely?
Is he about to strike?
There you are, with that hand over your face
The way you hid your soul
But Fate gave me eyes
Whether I want them or not
Your discerning position…
   Your face…
      Your hidden soul
They defragment in the air about us

And suffocate us to life.

Q__________Q I come to hug you now.
That was a BEAUTIFUL ending. ^^ I like that idea... suffocating to life. Lovely.
The way you transition so abruptly into the poem is... awkward? The first line needs a verb or something and a noun? Maybe. It's just like "splat! Poem!" but not.
The rest of the poem is so deep and perfect. T__T awww. *hug*
