    What I've Failed To Do.

    I've rolled around to being exactly what you see before you
    addicted to lies and sex
    sadly, I don't know which is more true
    but theres something beneath the surface of thick frames and belt buckles
    and though I scrubbed until it bled...
    I could still smell trouble
    on your skin where beaded sweat reflected pleasure.
    I wasn't concerned with what I had,
    my thoughts rested on the never
    and I was clever because you didn't know I ran a different course
    your nails in my back likened to the knives I stuck in yours
    I was terrified of your love more than anything else
    nailing wood into my walls to put emotions on the shelf
    and then they don't affect me, regardless of my deeds
    there's the thick scent of greed in the air we both breathe
    you wanted more, and I was willing
    just to give and give and give
    and you pretend you're happy while I pretend to give a shit.

    love is a grand thing.

    you musta just quickly key'd this, i bet you could write better but im not sayin its wack cuz no its pretty good you didn't fill your whole piece wit vocab all though really did have a interesting choice of words, nice flow stucture wasn't that great but stucture doesnt have to be perfect, its as long as the piece flows and it does, nice imagery good emotion, i'd like to see you work wit multiples though, but nice to see you around maven.

    think you could rtf on my new om, A World With No Water links soon to be in the sig

    Nice shit, Maven...

    Nice to see you writing again.

    Even though this was a quick drop, it really had some nice spots in it.

    I've rolled around to being exactly what you see before you
    addicted to lies and sex
    sadly, I don't know which is more true


    Nice double rhyme at the end...

    and I was clever because you didn't know I ran a different course
    your nails in my back likened to the knives I stuck in yours


    Nice wordplay/metaphor...

    I was terrified of your love more than anything else
    nailing wood into my walls to put emotions on the shelf


    Good description...wordplay...visual...

    you wanted more, and I was willing
    just to give and give and give
    and you pretend you're happy while I pretend to give a shit.


    Nice, tight closer...

    Definately worth the read...

    Peace

    I have to admit I liked it, but the structure seemed a little strange, a couple lines seemed really stretched. Complexity and vocab were tight and helped elevate the piece. Emotion and imagry were excellently demonstrated here. The begining didn't have much rhyming going on but the end made up for it. In the end needed some more rhymes throw in, in my opinion it would have been a better read, all together nice drop.

    It was ok but ya vocab wasnt good. U had too many gives in that one line and ya didnt really have flow to it. Ya need to take a little more timeon this and ya gotta work more. It was ok imagery and decent enough but it didnt really fit well. Keep at it thugh and keep spittin. It was an ok piece.

    Sounds like a typical relationship at times...shit makes you work at it

    This was a pretty simple piece on the outside...but it had some pretty witty metas and wordplay in it which was nice....short and sweet.....rhyming came and went which I thought was kinda cool....and it read well...keep writing

    This was a nice little read.The piece felt a little too simple,and i would've liked more in metaphorical content.But i'm sure this was a keystyle,you didn't put that much work into it and it shows.Liked the flow and rhymescheme,it fitted well with your aproach on the topic.Liked the ending too.This was nice,but i'm sure you can do better.Peace!
