Wite-out

Everything that I thought you were...
I white it out,
I white it out from my mind,
I laugh to keep from crying

The bold black lies you told
are erased from my memory
with a streak of wite-out

The constant wondering of where I was
was for you to know where to not go
with somebody else...
I use my wite-out..

I wish I had  listen to my friends
Instead I chose to white them out of the equation,
because it was none of their business
I now see that you are the same player
everyone else said you were...

I've got every type of wite-out
to get rid of you...
the regular, pen, and tape...
so begone you scumbag
because I've whitted you out of my life

Author's Note

I wanted to try something different, I used wite-out as a way to "delete" someone out of their life.

That is an interesting idea. The white out makes the slate clean and free for new things. It makes a page writable again so new things can be put on it.

While whiteout can take things away on the surface, the things it cover still exits. Like those people still exists. The rolls they played in a persons life remain in memory. The way they shape a person are there as well.

Yet, it is a decent way of moving on. It takes a person out of the past and into the future so they can make new things. That is a good thing in the moment, but in the long run one has to mend what is underneath.

It's an interesting concept, to be able to erase people from memory. I'm sure many people the world over, have felt the urge to try to erase someone from life, or memory. It just makes us all the more human for it. Though I thought it seemed a bit impersonal, it plays only on words. I enjoyed it greatly!

It's good, I liked the way you used wite-out to describe removing someone from your life. The second stanza was awesome :) Good job on this poem.

Clever, and straight to the point. Messin' around gets folks in trouble eventually. Glad you had plenty of white-out.

Enjoyable read!
