paint the world in red and broken glass

this is going to hurt

feeling the crush

(crash)

kind of like a car wreck

i's rather smack into the windshield

then fall in love with you

i hear tires screeching

everytime i look at you

i only get this warning

before it breaks

my heart (jumps

when you slam on the breaks)

momentum still flies me forward

(into you)

i'm getting out

you're strapped in tight

control is always something you've had

i have a face full of pavement

i could have gotten out

before i jumped in

and sped off with you

i'm regreting these feelings

because if this were a car wreck

you'd be the glass i'm (still) picking out of my hair

Author's Notes/Comments: 

title is from thursday's "understanding (in a car crash)" great song. i got the idea from something my friend josh wrote from when his car attacked him last and he was "picking glass out of his hair". it was an intresting line. (thanks) and well, i had math boy in mind.

Good poem. It kind of reminds me of a certain unnamed no one. If you know what I mean. I feel like writing, but for the first time in a while I'm just.. not feeling.. anything at all, really. It's crazy.
My feet smell absolutely horrible. I don't want to go to bed anymore, because I know the consequence is just waking up again. And I'm sick of that. I tried it for a while and it really isn't my thing.
This is a great poem. Honestly. Even though I don't quote one part, believe me, it's fantastic. I don't like the phrase 'flies me forward' though. Try 'flings' or 'shoots' or 'hurls' or 'coconut'.

Nicly thought out image. I'm always amazed when I read something that brings a new vision to my mind. Good piece of work.
