I will borrow from a favorite of mine:
“There is an idea of a [Brett Stults]; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable… I simply am not there.[...]I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don’t know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.[...]There are no more barriers to cros…

In Your Eyes” pipes in from the store’s CD and immediately a montage of Say Anything plays in my mind – and I can’t help but realize I will never have a chance with her. The cute customer who has completely restored my faith in humanity walks out, I say goodbye but her plain-looking friend is the only one to acknowledge me.

I just recently ended a serious relationship and this poem relates excatly what I feel right now. I love how you use the bedroom as a sort of neutral ground. The bedroom is where you can experience the greatest form of love and then in the next minute it can bring the greatest feelings of despair. Also, your transition from the feelings of love and then the absolute hatred that you have towards the one you loved is a little too real. Like I said, I'm feeling this right now and I am glad that ...
Wow. It starts as what seems like simple confession with the normal awkwardness a child would have about revealing their sins, but then gains momentum into becoming this shocking reveal. I really enjoyed the ambiguity that came at the begining of the story, I wasn't sure if this was going to deal with at first and I will admit it took me a while to make the connection between the blood and her pale skin. And with the attack, like a junkie getting a fix by any means, and her leaving the confes...
