PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My heart aches with each beat

Weighing heavily on me

No end in sight

No hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Where is this taking me?

A depth a cannot tolerate

Without a release

To numb the pain

Loneliness

Circles around

And within

Everywhere

I am a fraud

To you, to me

To everyone

Coming clean

Wish I could

It would lighten the load

But perfection can feel so good

For a moment

Then its back

To the silence within

Silence with you

Silence

Deafening silence

That mutes the heart

The sole

The essence of me

Until I am but a shell

With nothing left to give

To anyone

Not even myself

Closing my eyes

Until the thick lapse of time

Descends upon me

Relieving this harsh

Reality

Of what a fraud I really am…

I deserve this loneliness

I’ve brought it onto myself

If I can’t be real

Then I can’t be

Therefore I am not

Anyone.
