i promised you this~ so here it is! ❤️ be sure to let me know what you think!


No More Words

I've always known the words to say
the feelings in my heart,
so do I truly need a poem?

It seems so simple to utter them,
the words one two three.

But would they still have meaning?

Sometimes we're wandering the nighttime
and someone must lift sun to sky
to shine a beam of warmth
onto the heart of the other.

Then perhaps we can see if life has always been there,
encased in hardened shell with timid land abound,
having no give for the chance at sprawling roots.

Maybe, with enough soft warmth and light mist,
what's inside springs free of its bindings
and has its petals greet the sun with open arms.

But why speak of flowers
and sunshine and warmth
when there's an easier way?

I love you.

[ There! That should be obvious enough. ]

Dear Monika-kun,

Thank you so much for sharing this poem with me! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you!

This poem is quite well-written, and it carries such a strong, heartfelt feeling with it. Each image you describe feels so vivid and lively. Overall, I would say that this is a well-constructed poem! I find that I love this very much!

With care,
Kiyotaka Ishimaru

[ Haha. Hahaha. No more words indeed.

Is she...does she...HOW WAS THAT NOT OBVIOUS ENOUGH?? ]

you're welcome!

but

[ It takes a second for the next message to go through. She's in too much disbelief, so it's hard to type. ]

are you sure you don't want to read it again? maybe pay attention to a certain line of it??

[ LIKE. SHE CLEARLY SAID IT THIS TIME. RIGHT AT THE END! ]

[moraloutrage]

Ah! Could I have overlooked something? I apologize if I missed something important! I may truly have a lot to read about poetry.

But do not worry! I shall reread the poem comprehensively and try to find just the right line!

[255000255000255]

[ Thankfully he can't see her pinching the bridge of her nose. ]

it's the last line

if you needed a hint

[moraloutrage]

The last line? Ah, I see! To be honest, I would have preferred to figure it out entirely on my own. Still, I appreciate you helping me out!

Now, I will take some time to study that line and its possible meanings! I will find the deeper metaphorical meaning, I promise!

[255000255000255]

good luck, kiyo

wish you the best

[ At this point, she's thinking her original idea of writing "I love you" a million times wasn't that crazy. ]

[moraloutrage]

[He figures that she's a poet. And poems are full of metaphors and hidden meaning! So it would probably be insulting to take anything in the poem at face value. And even moreso for the line she called special attention to! So, he'll have to study further to figure out what it really means!]

Thank you, Monika-kun! I will do my best to figure out the secret behind that line and make you proud!

I cannot say how much I appreciate this. This exercise will keep my mind occupied! [And keep him from dwelling on sad thoughts.]

[255000255000255]

[ She's almost on the floor from how hard she's slumping. Has she failed as a writer...? ]

yaaay ttyl

[ Maybe she'll write on a first grade level next time.

...Nah. Kindergarten. ]
