PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

... When in reality I am a misconception.
I am what I do in the darkness that makes me who you see in the light
I'm a lit candle versus the breeze from
The sigh coming from your lips
When I disappoint you.
I wield the sword of disarray carelessly

... When in the darkness I fight my demons
I'm the strongest, I'm the fastest
It's purely self satisfaction
A rope to hold when my ship sinks
When you come home
And turn on the lights

... When exposed to the truth, I am pale
I am sickly, I am weak
I'm the star you made a wish upon
Fading more with every breath I breathe
A dying exhale from
Every thing I've done

... When ill respondant I become to all
The questions wandering from
Your mind to mine, I make headway
To the nearest fire escape.
I make my way away from
All the times I made you swell
To burst with tears.
And from your regret that lingers
Steadily over my head
