Little glimpses of what was...
There are still some traces of the old Broken Saints forum kicking around the internet. Someone found a few pages of the "Haiku" thread and posted it up. Bear in mind as you read, I DON'T WRITE POETRY.
---------------------
you think you know me
but you don't
you see the package
small...
tiny small
pretty
young
and you deduce that this equals
fragile
you think you know me
you think....
wouldn't it be nice to
own me?
protect me?
you think you
can
put me in Gypsy's small gold box
I don't fit
I never did
you don't know me
cute does not equal needy
so who's naive...to think you know me
judged by the covers of this book
you think you know me
you think I need you
because I'm small
but I can never be what you want
don't you see?
that my father was right
great things can come in little packages
you think you know
but you don't
because I am fierce
I have a bite
and once you see this,
once you've rolled me
around in your mouth awhile
you'll discover you don't like
my taste
and you're angry
because you think I tricked you
you
you thought I looked like sugar
shocking to find I'm more
like salt
you think you know me
like the monosyllablic adjective
you use to describe me
you think I am what I seem
but I,
I am so much more
and I have never tried to hide the real me
you just didn't want to see
past the body, face, the smile
you wanted two dimensions
a flattened version of me
you tricked yourself
you think you know me?
think again
