Fresh Torrent

Cookie cutter words so carefully cut and pasted on me are simply wasted. Their relevance defunct so silent deaf and mute someone else’s route. This romances brevity couldn’t even warrant a freshly cut torrent. Thoughts on you only today are freshly writ not from another’s skit. Your cycle oft repeated new color same game please shame and blame. Faded far from view a barren desolate land this love’s final stand. Pain is public domain burn your copyright cliché it into firelight. Blank page tattered torn crumpled piss-stained empty promises drained. Program pre-recorded tired hackneyed phrases sung too long the praises. “the lady doth protest too much” said Hamlet then she knew her fear just ask Shakespeare.

lol...personally, I'm not partial to that play, but I do love the meaning behind "there's small choice in rotten apples" and the script it comes from...

This was a torrent to a lady of my affections who scorned me live on wordpress from a poem she wrote for someone else and pasted it to me.

I'm sure many have fallen from that tree. Re your comment above, I kind of gathered that...forward into the fray. Happy New Year Levasseur. Keep on throwing in the dark with the light. It works.
