    Exclamation I dreamt a dream

    Headache

    This headache is
    just not for nothing
    My mind is roaming
    not just for nothing
    I dreamt a dream
    last night
    I saw you,
    Yes, you, my dear
    pushing away my hand
    leaving me alone
    in the abyss of love
    smiling and
    walking away
    with a beast!

    I'm sorry, every time I see 'jerking off' in the the same line with 'hand' I have trouble keeping a straight face
    Do you think 'tearing off' might be better?

    hahahahha! you made a good catch!

    'pushed away' would be better, I think.
    Thanks...

    I would probably prefer "jerking away" since it can be read both ways which actually seems to fit with the tone/theme of the poem.
    "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being." --Carl Gustav Jung

    "To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due." --Neil Gaiman; The Sandman Vol. 4: Season of Mists

    "I'm on my way, from misery to happiness today. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh" --The Proclaimers

    Hmmmm, interesting point he has. Maybe "jerking away" would be better for the raw factor. Besides, what you initially go with is usually closer to what you really mean, and therefore better.

    P.S.
    When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought perhaps Susan Boyle had finally joined the forum!
