Fever

Headaches, and dizziness,
I'm writing lyrics to your whistles
with my wheezing outward breath
praying that at least a cough will leave my throat

I hoped to be able to go outside today
but the pulsating vibrations of city-life
cacophony mixing with nihilism
made me too afraid to not be alone

So I stayed in bed all day
listening to your voice on my answering machine
trying to press fast forward for the first time
but my finger got stuck on repeat

And now I'm trapped in a loop,
lying in bed all day with feverish heartbreaks;
Trying to fast forward past the spirals
that led to our love becoming a disease

    This young lady is very talented with her writing.. Her emotions and flavoring style of writing is very unique and yet she adds such a simplistic tone that the reader cannot help but get sucked into each and every line..
    The message is heart wrenching... but the creative display of word usage is one of the main reasons why I chose to highlight this poem...

    "I'm writing lyrics to your whistles" -------- what a creative line!
    As is many of the lines throughout! I truly adore this poem :-)

      No no, I didn't mean it like that, I just think you should try and read into the metaphors that many use in their poetry, and not take everything literally =)

      It's not really meant to be read literally though. There are implicit meanings written into it, the explicit isn't all that's there. Thanks for your comment =)
