[androidheart]

It stings and bites
worse yet, week to week
where my Ghostly fingertips
long again for your sallow cheek

I couldn't if I dared
and I wouldn't, as I've tried
to look beyond something like "You and I"
where I could sing,
with a Broken guitar string
and a heart to match
a girl that Lied
and never looked back

I want to quit,
and yet I can't
I want to sit,
and yet I shan't
bereft of former heart and soul
take what Remains and make me Whole
held against your chest
there is nothing else Left

Angela?

[androidheart]

Elliot.

[fiddlestick]

Are you okay?

[androidheart]

I don't know.

[complementing]

they're lovely lyrics, Angela, but...

did something happen?

[fiddlestick]

What happened?

[androidheart]

It's a poem, not a song.

[androidheart]

I wrote a poem.

[gunsandveggies]

It's a beautiful poem. Beautiful, yet melancholy.

Are you all right?

[fiddlestick]

Right. And it's a really nice poem!

What was the inspiration?

[complementing]

lovely...lines? I'm not sure what they're called

still worried about you though

posting a poem like this to the network, with no explanation...it's not like you

[androidheart]

It's nice to hear from you again, Haru.

I am not sure if I am well or not.

[androidheart]

It's not as if you know me particularly well to begin with.

I needed an outlet.

[androidheart]

Me.

Recollé.

[complementing]

whoa

okay

that's completely fair

I'm sorry if I spoke out of turn

[fiddlestick]

That's specific...

Well, it's good to have a way to vent your feelings.
But if you ever wanna talk, I am here, okay?

[androidheart]

Is that sarcasm

[androidheart]

"Whoa"

What do you mean "Whoa"?

"Whoa, how could you be so rude to me?"

"Whoa, I am surprised that you are a human being capable of aggression, and not some sort of saccharine robot."

Yes, I apologize for snapping at you. It's not something I should be bothered by.

[fiddlestick]

No?
Well the specific part was.
But the rest wasn't.

Poetry...?

[androidheart]

Correct.

What do you think?

[androidheart]

That's a little mean, don't you think?

[truedetective]

I'm not much of an artistic judge, I'll admit. It's certainly... very raw. Emotionally.

[androidheart]

That was my intention. I'm glad you can appreciate it.

I don't think we've spoken before.

My name is Angela.

[complementing]

I mean, yeah, I was surprised, but I wouldn't go as far as calling you a saccharine robot...

and you don't have to apologize, since that WAS pretty rude of me, and I'm sorry again for it

I'm not sure what's upsetting you, but I genuinely want to help you if I can
