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.

"I wish I would have listen to my friends" - sorry to be pernickety, but the grammar in this sentence deson't make sense. It should be "I wish I had listened to my friends".
I understand the sentiment in your piece - Something everyone can identify with. and the idea of "wite-out" is entertaining.

Man if only this worked literally eh? Very interesting write though

Damn good write. This 'something different' really smacks truth about the blessing of human forgetfulness. White em out when you need to. It's better not to remember. Felt this.
Cheers!

I like how you used this poem and the chosen words to describe a certain part of a relationship and its demise. The message here is so very true and I think I will wite out some people in my own existence. Good writing.

I really like this one, it has something fresh about it :) Well done :)

...Also *grabs net* you have fetched my muse back. She is being locked up for good this time xD Thanks :)

If only we could really do that...lol. Delete someone who's bothered us for so long. It'd be interesting. I love the underput last paragraph especially. It's very true. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

slightly depressing......Its sad that white out will never take away the scars though..its just covers them...very well written :)

This is creative. White-out is a ton of fun to play with too. I love the last stanza that you wrote because I can see the angry that still arises when you think of the scumbag.

If only life was so easy to erase, great write.
