When I Crush Ice Cubes Between My Teeth, I Name Them All After You and Hope That One Day I'll Crush You, Too

I shoved my head between the two pillows on my bed,
Hoping they would harden and crush my skull so
My brains would splatter all over my white and baby blue sheets
The words "I still do" and "Always will" and
Two birds, stitched at the head
Sharing their mind
Without understanding.

This title is epic.

"I still do" and "Always will"

Oh. Oh I like that.
It's violent and painful. It makes me uncomfortable and sad. And *hug*.
I like that this is different from your other work (i.e. more than five words a line and less like lyrics).

Very violent.
Very painful.
Very where I'm at, at the moment.

It's a really good poem though. I agree with Tabia - nice new style in this. I like the part with "two birds stitched together sharing a mind". It was a neat, original visual. And the title too. Good title :)
