I burn, with the edge of the forest,

Alight like embers, glowing bright.

I choke on the air, acrid and sharp,

Enveloping my being, diminishing sight.

I cry, in the loneliness,

A forlorn and forgotten face.

I escape, into the darkness,

It is always my saving grace.

It pounds, my head feels shattered,

Must they always take it out on me?

They laugh, my heart, in tatters,

This is not how I want life to be.

Turned away from the reality and madness,

I seek the truth in an often oddly way.

No one ever really understands me,

And so my soul, in totality, does decay.

Explain to me the reasons, perhaps,

Do you even know why you choose?

To scoff and belittle, torment and betray,

Unloving, you continue to abuse.

I shall no longer allow this, I can’t

It’s torn my body, limb from limb

I’ve allowed you too many chances,

The end result was always too grim.

Be gone, thy demon, take haste and depart

I must save what remains, of this empty, broken heart…

Enticed

She climbs the steps

Daring the fates, unknown

White candles flicker, beckoning

Seduced

This fire, out of her control

Burns deeply in her soul

She falls victim

Betrayed

Time Stands Still – #poetry

Faded, into black and white

A silken rose, once sweet delight

Its colors, now ravished, bled apart

Time stands still, as does my heart

We were together, now I am one

This emptiness, can’t be undone

By memories, so long denied

They still lay heavy, deep inside

So let the clock ticktock away

Yes, I will wait for that fine day

When the time, at last, for me is right

Never again will I fade, into black and white

I Said Goodbye ~ #poetry

Adorned, I hide my face
Inside this mask of blue
Silver painted, decorated
To keep myself from view

Where no one knows about me
Or wonders who I am
I’ll blend in, pretend again
When I’m really just a sham

You once stood by my side
Unmasked and unafraid
I didn’t learn, and now I yearn
Twas you that I betrayed

In the mirror, my reflection
Glances back at me, I sigh
For my eyes can see, in reality
I’m the one who said goodbye

The ink smeared

As tears fell, silent drops

Staining the page

Stinging her eyes, burning

Like the words he wrote

For another
