I sat down today, and I told myself that I needed to leave this place. I stood like a dejected cadet and lowered myself down again, I double-guessed myself and questioned all the salt in the water, and called them little liars. I would punish them if I could and boil them dry.

If I think about it, if I think really really hard, until the veins in my tress pulse and quiver (like the whores you fucked), I'd say getting out of here would do much good for me. I would've probably tied my hand to a Glock if I had one and made a hell of a canvas out of the pretty flowers at your doorstep. Then, and only then, will you never be able to rid yourself of my scent, butchered pink, like the bacon in your brunch plate (you don't like eggs). It'll be just for you, and you still say I'm nowhere near the sweet girl you wished.

Beelzebub, I loved and you left me high, and dry; my scarf clutching at your toes and bones wet as a baby. See, now, now I'm seeing things clearly -- I don't think I would ever want to leave your side. Maybe I'll hide beneath your floorboard and smell your deodorant in the mornings. Yes; yes, that's exactly what I shall do. I'll see you in the morning, darling; I love you.

"until the veins in my tress"
Tress is hair.  Don't see how it has veins. Can you explain the image you intend?
Don't get why hand would need to be "tied" to Glock.

thanks for any illumination regarding these areas

I was attempting to illustrate an extremity, by extending the physical impact from just flesh, to something such as hair, or nails.

Tied, as in torn between the will to survive and the emotional wish to be at peace. Hence, a tug-of-war, a seemingly reluctant method of death, I guess.

Okay, I get it now. Worthwhile direction. Good attempts. As you can see the average reader may need a bit more guiding to move along with you. Keep going.

My apologies. I've always been told that I absolutely make no sense at all. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. (:

Was thinking about this today.  '...until my straw stiff tresses tremble and quiver from the veins pounding under them' is a rough form of one part.
 
The Glock hand secured. An interesting concept. Some swordsmen would  bind the hilt into their hand. This would let them keep swinging to the last twitch of life.

I would bind the Glock hand closed with tape. Wonder if you are familiar with this particular firearm's safety feature? It is in the trigger. If you can squeeze/twitch the index finger(3 muscles) you can fire. They come in different calibers. 9mm, .40, .45 and probably .357 magnum. I would use the 9 in such a case. The physical shock of .40 and .45 would preclude getting off a second round, I think. 357 mag? Forgeddaboutit. 9, well I have met a couple of guys who sustained multiple 9 hits. Point being I see it workable in your story. This is if you want the character to shoot herself onto the doorstep flowers.

These treatments aren't true to your original intentions. Just what happens in my mind when stimulated by another's stuff.


 

I have a book titled "Cantos" written by a guy name of Pound that defies consistant interpretation. I find its inspiration boundless.

Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"

That would be all for now. Can never get the number of words to more than about 500. How would I extend it if you suggest so?

Wink I was just wondering because the ranting and raving was kind of appealing and cool at the same time.
