trochee
|
|
The sound of awkward silence
|
1 |
|
in the car
|
2 |
|
helps her recognize
|
3 |
|
she is souls away
|
4 |
|
from him.
|
5 |
|
|
|
|
Her eyes construing
|
6 |
|
the color of his shirt,
|
7 |
|
disembroiled tie
|
8 |
|
and sleeves folded neatly;
|
9 |
|
worries her, if she misread
|
10 |
|
destiny's cue.
|
11 |
|
|
|
|
The compromise of her feelings
|
12 |
|
gets provoked
|
13 |
|
with his office piffles,
|
14 |
|
impending promotions
|
15 |
|
and combing the hair
|
16 |
|
whilst conversations.
|
17 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And she is compelled
|
18 |
|
to long for the awkward silence again
|
19 |
|
and think of the boy
|
20 |
|
who likened her smile to:
|
21 |
|
|
|
|
'a contagious yawn,
|
22 |
|
realigning
|
23 |
|
everyones gaze'
|
24 |
|
|
|
|
and reassure herself
|
25 |
|
she will be loved.

nice. your typical voice but that is a good thing. your signature, really, typicality sounds like this isn't anything new. but this is. nice incorporation of definition at the end.
