  This tells the reader what you mean but with finesse. Love it

    Thank you 😊 It was stupid o’clock in the morning so it’s short, but it says what’s important to me

  For some reason I was compelled to read this from beginning to end, and then reverse from the end to the beginning. The choice of words in this hook the reader so well. Short yes, but sweet. And done with skill and vivid imagery.

    This one had a lot to say with just a few words. I just went with what I felt. Thank you, my friend 😊

  This is cool. I like the announcing of April 2nd in this way.

  April Fools is practically every day for me. There’s no April 2nds in my life. Awesome piece my friend!!

  Something about the way April Fools attracts those with sharpened words and mean thoughts out into the open for a day has always felt wrong to me. I love how you take back the arena with April 2nd, pushing those with ill intentions and bad behavior back into the shadows.

  Brilliantly penned, PAR. Excellent write that’s an amazing sequel to “April 1st” my friend. Both writes stand on their own respectively but reading them back to back is chef’s kiss brother. The contrast between the two writes is next level good. I’m a fan of both but dare I say I the sequel might be a smidgen better. Always enjoy reading your work. Appreciate you.

It comes in quietly,

  You’re rather the pain instead of the love…this shows that the comfort that can be given is a scary concept.

you place the blade
in my hand
and somethin in your voice
makes it feel right
somethin given just to me
b/c I earned it

dumb enough to believe you…

along the surface
before bringin it to my mouth

draggin my tongue
along the edge
