Dear World,

this is a poem that we i had to write for composition. we had to describe something ugly that is also beautiful, or something beautiful that could be ugly. mr. hernandez talked about this stuff that is made in whale's bellies that they used to put in perfume to make it stay on your skin longer. yuck. i wrote about how an argument could be incredibly ugly but can bring out the beauty in people. enjoy! oh, and criticism is accepted!


He throws She feels
all his weight the cool perfume bottle
into the punch clutched in her sweating palm
he aims she aims
at the bathroom wall. at the bedroom wall.

CRASH! CRASH!

I didn't cheat. He cheated.
He loves her. She loves him.
How could she How could he
think that? do that to me?
He runs into the closet. She runs into the kitchen.
He quickly snatches up She gingerly picks up
his favorite golf club. her prized glass vase
and swings it into and flings it against
the mirror the mirror
in the bathroom. in the bedroom.

SMASH! SMASH!

Shards of glass Shards of glass
catch the light catch the light
as they fall as they fall
to the tile, to the carpet,
beautifully spinning, beautifully spinning,
like glittering ballet dancers, like glittering ballet dancers,
before tinkling to the floor. before tinkling to the floor.
What was that? What was that?
His head swivels Her head swivels
towards the door. towards the door.
He sprints She sprints
to the bedroom. to the bathroom.
They collide
in the middle,
with
tears in his eyes. tears in her eyes.

I have hid things from you,
lied to protect you.
But I have never, ever,
cheated on you.
He whispers.

From the open door
he can see she can see
broken glass
in the bedroom. in the bathroom.
Shining on the floor,
like sparkling, beautiful islands,
glass pieces glisten in the bright lights,
reflecting the
complete and utter love
they had for each other,
amidst the sea of glass.

You are beautiful, You are beautiful,
he whispered. she whispered.

p.s. if the spacing is off, i am dearly sorry. i will try to correct it.
love, Pretty Princess
