Rough version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


When did you become undone?
It was in the making of him
When he was born to sate your everything
He couldn’t have been more true
More perfect, more real
If he had been a dream made flesh
A rose-born savior for your shattered mirrors
A mirrormaker, a reflection of your truths
And the echoes of your silent sighs

You were unmade when he became of you
He is your one and only cure
To the fallacies of living
Your redemption
From a nighttime’s worth of loneliness
And empty promises
You were unmade for him, because
You were made to be unmade by him
His hands the forge, by which you melt
And are remade, molded into a new life
A new love
A new beginning.

more perfect, more real
if he had been a dream made

a rose-born savior
for your shattered mirrors
a mirrormaker
a reflection of your truths
and the echoes

you were unmade when he
became of you
he is your one and only cure
to the fallacies of living

from a nighttime’s worth
of loneliness
and empty promises

remade

molded

a new life
a new love
a new beginning.

This has a few influences that need to be recognized.

1) The way I wrote it was my first attempt at the idea described at [link] I like the idea of wordspill, but I decided to try my own hand at this technique without a theme at first, just to see how it went :) My thanks to ~Wordspill and =Tokyo-Angel for first showing me their site.

2) Cap'n, I gotta give some credit to you, since I'm highly influenced by your "He" poems...I love them ^__^ This has their sort of feel to me, so I hope you don't mind me borrowing your muse :D :heart:

haha when i saw this in my inbox i kinda went "did i mis-title something?".. it's beautiful :) i can see how you've structured it (the final version) but it quite differs from the He i write about.. but it's interesting to see this theme from your perspective i guess :shrug:

:iconshadowsburning:
Oddly enough, I actually prefer the rough version.
:iconlorananirren:
That it does, and I knew that, but I also knew that your theme was partially in my head as the lines came, so thank you =P :hug:

I agree with shadows, I prefer the rough version. The poem itself, is wonderful . Giving birth and becomng a mother, or father for that matter, really does un-make you. Having experienced this all first hand and having lived (unfortunately) the rough side of it all, a baby completely destroys you and shatters your expectations of who you wre going to be as a parent. After a child, you need to re-build yourself, and as it were, hope that it comes close to who you used to be.

Wonderful work.

I find it very intriguing that you pictured this as a birth...it's very different from what I saw, but cool! Thank you for your perspective and insights, very interesting indeed ^__^

Enjoyed this. I've edited and reworked a few parts below. It came across abit to 'religious' in parts.. so I cut those parts out.. I'm not sure thats how you meant it.. but thats how it came a accross to the reader. However I loved the main body of the work.

When did he become undone?
it was in the making of him.

When he was born to sate your
everything, even the echoes of your sighs.

A mirrormaker,
for all your shattered mirrors.

That nights worth of still nothings
you became unmade.
:iconmoonlightfading:
:] Very beautiful writing you have here.
I have to disagree with ~Marcial-Alejandro and ~ShadowsBurning, I quite like the edited version, it leaves a bit more unknown, more to dream about.

you
were unmade
for him, because
you
were made to be
unmade by him


Loved that stanza. :] Very nice.
