MockeryA Chapter by Scott ChristianWritten for a past love.
You look down at the tiles
poring over every crack-- flaws inherited by time You speak of past and present in vagueness-es stumbling over each word like a block in your head --the block in your head After every utterance, you deserve naught but my scorn and anger "You wretched beast, casting your shimmering pools upon me--tainted and shallow like your very paradigm I could liken you to a lowly worm or facsimile--but I would not wish such disgrace on them" You meekly look up, cowardice permeating your glances "I'm not perfect. As the floor beneath my feet is wont for perfection--ageless abandon and fervor... so am I. What I lack, must you cling to? Can there be no recourse?" "O! Bate your tongue! Rescind your mockery and cast your scaly eyes els'where! These words, words lack of words and substance. Do you dare I listen?! Dare I agree?! A fool I would be to impart upon you such kindnesses! Such forgiveness is beyond a man so desperately destroyed!" Your eyes sink back to the ground where they forever belong © 2010 Scott ChristianReviews
