video.games and empty conversations

to that boy in boston. he never called and after i told him don't bother calling me anymore he finally decided to start calling me and calling me back when he says he will. yesss i hate boys. expecially ones that live acrossed the country

i find strength in the words you speak

and the memories you cause to resurface

from the past summer when you held me close

 

you spoke words that were as tender

as the wounds around my lips

the gentle feel of your voice

caused me to believe you actually meant every word you said

as we laid under the blankets

 

your body heat combined with mine

created an almost unbearable temperature

we were close, we were almost to the point of love

love that was only consisted of lust from both heart

 

i was the desire that seeped from your lips

for a moment you couldn't handle the need you had for me

only to be turned into another fad and another story to take home

 

we fell apart when you boarded that plane

the promises that you reassured you'd keep

were only to be broken like i told you they would

the phone rarely rang with you on the other end

 

i forgot your face after time passed

you made it easy to move on when you left that morning

for a while i missed your voice, your accent

as i waited and wondered when you would call

 

i grew tired of waiting for your call

for you to have time for the girl you left back in oregon

i told you not to bother making time for me

you became that boy from boston who wasn't worth the time

 

as my caller id reads your name

i wonder why you're still bothering to sympathize me

our conversation was no longer then a half an hour

time i'll never get back in my life, time you wasted

because i finally became important enough for you to call

 

only because you realized your summer memory

was fading away from you

This was wrote like a man would think.
I love the use of the green words and they had a impact.
Sad but true everything moves on.
Great write! I still wonder what the title words "video.games"
had to do with it besides " GAME OVER "
Thanks for sharing.

I was looking through all of the writes I had on my reading list and I came across this one.
I really like this piece. The coloured words definitely adds affect.
Great write.
