an attack that is massiveso,
here's my hair
and my knees and legs
and even some of my shoulders
and they are dressed in purple -
don't ask me why though
an artist told me
purple was dangerous
'cause purple is red and blue
and red is fire
and blue is water
and i am red
and he is blue;
it doesn't matter now
'cause
''we'' is not me and him anymore -
so,
here's your hair
and your lips
and your eyes, and just maybe
some of your fingertips
and you still don't have a colour
and maybe that's better
'cause
i'm a mess
and you're happiness
and you use
complicated words
like ''phantasmagoria'' and ''ephemeral''
and you use
cologne that smells like heaven
red ink to write me love notes
every opportunity to see me
and you use
my name in every sentence
while he
used to use
me.
an attack that is massive by Tornment

<sub>It's hard, after a tough break up or abusive
relationship, to explain to the outside world just
why we can't explain ourselves.  We move on,
we find new love, and when that person asks us, "Why
do you love me?", it's easiest, sometimes, to
avoid the question.  an attack that is massive
explains this beautifully.

Scribbles by ClearSound

_{According to the most popular theories,
meeting your soul mate is like the world, for
the briefest of moments, coming to a stop around you.  
According to ClearSound, it could be much,
much deeper than that.  This is a lovely, thought-
inspiring piece that is sure to change the
way you think about love.}

Prose

_{Featured by xlntwtch}
Away from NeverNeverLandMoney is dirty. Leaves invisible yuck on a person; stains fingers, smears over skin and catches under nails. Festers. And then hands turn into pincers to take and eyes small greedy and black. Skin hardens to bounce back ugly words and back curves under weight of things. Lobsters, fat and red.
Marriage is scrubbed. Clean and pretend. Perfect white dresses and kisses put and planted. Brides march and grooms promise so hard. Military of gowns with bow tie generals. An army of high heels and flowers landed in laps. Marriage spreads. Infects. Zombiefying disease. Shuffle, I do, brains.
Driving is fickle. Slide into each other, through each other. Blood and bits go with them. People cry over tombs and insurance papers. Or nothing. Home again, uneventful day. Locked behind wheel, over tarmac, lights suspended like vultures above. Danger, danger. Promise of convenience. Thrill. Like riding a shark.
Work is uniformed. Slotted, easy, organized files. Tags meaning le
Away from NeverNeverLand by EvilpixieA

_{This flash fiction reads like fine poetry.
The writer shines a bright light on the way the
world is often seen. By showing us that, she
illuminates the world the way it could be.}
