Thanks a lot for your offering your feedback. If you indeed would like to take a crack at editing my story, I give you full permission. I'm curious to see what you come up with...and am well aware that my work could do with some tightening. :) I don't have to forgive you for being opinionated, because I admire that quality, especially when it gives way to honesty. Thanks again!

I actually do write poetry when a powerful emotion overtakes me and must come out, sense be damned. Thanks for the suggestion & sharing of writerly experience. :)

Fingers rip caresses linger on black eye’d mascara smear&lip
bloodied whimpers. Ashen cheeks beg broken kisses in
midnight’s starless silence.

Starless eyes linger on mascara blackened fingertips caressing
blood smear’d cheeks. Ashen lips beg broken whimpers &
midnight-silent kisses.

Lips linger on ashen eyelids smear mascara with broken
caresses. Fingertips kiss bloodied cheeks rip midnight
whimpers into black silence.

Blood-smear’d fingers rip lingering silence beg midnight
kisses&broken caresses. Ashen lips whimper in the mascara-
black starlessness.
