Seeing seconds (Synesthesia)

syn·es·the·sia
1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.

I was kind of inspired to write about this, it sounds really cool. So I decided to try to describe a second (Or any 'Second' 's in general) using sight. I don't usually use alliteration...but I'll try with some S's. sssssssssssssssssss. ok. I'll try not to over-do it.

Ok, 'ere goes nothin.


Seeing Seconds
Seeing the seconds split, like atoms.
Changing into split-second thoughts and split-second desicions.

Seeing what is on your plate,
Never satisfied with life
Asking for seconds

Seeing every sweet victory
Still so distant
Constantly coming in Second.

Seeing life sparkle before your eyes
Glistening, sand filled summer sunsets
Seconds of innocence

Slipping away

Seeing a star shimmer
Only for a split-second
Skillfully, making you question

Will that star ever shine again?
Or will you forever be
remembering those seconds.

this is the cooliest
because this stanza
breaks the second pattern
yayyyyyyyy

Krysteah did the last stanza, I couldn't think of a better one. This one is awesome!!!!
