Disappointment.... “Disappointment to a noble soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys it.”

I would usually say here, "what's wrong with destruction?" Really, if disappointment doesn't destroy, then it's really not doing its job. The word literally means "to undo the appointment, remove from office". In this way, disappointment is really a great purging, the blasted tower scattering shattered shards of false reflections, shot down in the glimmering twilight and laying to dust and vengeance that which is gilded with vanity and self betrayal.

Oh wait....I'm being overcome....by the Gods of Dark Prose....I can't help myself ohgodhereitCOMES:

ZORYA, you black swan you. Blacker than the pits of hades that swallowed you up, blacker than all the oil in the Gulf of Mexico, and blacker still than that nasty black licorice no one wants. ZORYA, you're like an angel that is darker than my room when my nightlight doesn't work - you're so damn dark that Satan is busy screwing in a thousand florescent light bulbs just to be able to see your shadow. You are like an angel - NAY, more like an Asphalt-Covered Hippopotamus With Wings, yes, that's what you are....floating over my bed, about to crush my face with your eternally dark äss
and plunge me into insufferable.....DARKNESS.

Zorya, you set the loins of christ on fire. If there's anyone I'd paint the word "SUPER FAIL POET" on my forehead for in.....darkest dark....letters for, it's you.

Omg, it's magic. I'm a poet now. I'm just gonna leave this here.
