tragedies - collab. by *Miss-Deathwish:iconMiss-Deathwish:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Experimental > Other


you deserve all the cobweb dreams,
fairytale hopes, and explosive love
in the world, but i know that i
will never be the one
to give them to you.

you need notes that end with
'ps - you're brighter than
twenty-seven silver stars'.
i can't bring myself
to write them, though.

it's not like you'd read them,
anyway.

i cut out paper hearts and
dreams and gave them to you, but
you only ripped them up and said
'these aren't good enough.'

when i painted you a picture
of golden skies and sunshine smiles,
you handed it back and told me
'next time, paint realistically.'

so i wrote you a story
filled of starless nights and
hopeless dreams. you said 'no,
i don't need this. you're
tragedy enough for me.'

by the time i was humming you
melancholy lullabies through the receiver,
you had already surrendered
to the sweet grasps of sleep.
'i'd rather nightmares than you,'
you said, hanging up the phone.

i kept singing anyway, hoping
that you would stop running
long enough for me to catch up.

but i forgot -
you're not something
that needs to be caught.

collab with the heart-achingly gorgeous Amertie. (she is here.)
she is so, so talented, and amazes and inspires me so much. it was an honor to collaborate with her.

and it is completely official - we had a "title fail" moment. haha~
perhaps we're just indecisive, but titles can be a major pain to conjure, hee. :heart:

and now i'm off to sleep. which is a lie. because i won't fall asleep for at least four more hours, stupid insomnia. but i'll try.

~~love you all (:

This is so beautiful, but so sad at the same time.

the first four stanzas are heartrendingly perfect.

and the rest are completely beautiful as well.

Another stunningly beautiful piece.
I'm always curious when I read your collaborations with other people; how exactly do you go about doing that?
I guess, since some artists collaborate by drawing separate characters or taking turns coloring, so it probably isn't much different, right?
