Description You paint your lips blue
and pretend to be dead,
hide away from the sun
and mom and dad,
bottle air and drink despair
in your basement apartment
until the words bleed from
your pen and wrists
and you invite the darkness in
to swallow you whole,
while I can write and smile
in the pouring rain.

I love your poetry. It's a sweet sadness. I think that you should make

"You paint your lips blue
and pretend to be dead,
hide away from the sun"

a sentence and

"bottle air and drink despair
in your basement apartment
until the words bleed from
your pen and wrists"

another sentence and cross out the "and" on the next line. Your work is beautiful.

Thank you. (: I have a habit of making my poems one really long sentence, but it's just my style. Thanks for the idea though.
