PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I thought I saw heaven in your eyes

But all It ever was , was buried lies

See I’ve spent a lifetime saying goodbye

Only to constantly arrive right back at hello

Invested many nights with boxes o f tissue

Trying to make excuses rather than confronting the real issue

THAT……..

I was infatuated with seeking something that id never find

I’d love to say I heard beautiful promises from your voice

But all I ever heard was broken records that eventually became my #1 choice

So stuck in a lie that TRUTH was only perceived when you whispered fabrications in my ear

 Because it was so consistent that it sounded so good  that I’d even pull closer to hear

As if the depths of the volume would change the fact that our existence 

Was defined simply by empty kisses and three words after each sentence

I guess I never fully read the stories on these princesses and their knights

Or maybe I anticipated too much for a story of my own when mommy used to tuck me in at night

some how , I always by passed that I closed each book after “THE END”

Because…..

We never truly know what happens after the fairytale is over until its your reality

We just assume after the love everything ends off happily

Happy ever after ?

 But  really Whose EVER -HAPPY -AFTER?

Love was just a game that I played to well that the missing puzzle became me

Or at least the missing puzzle was placed where my heart used to be

Because to love YOU, I had to stop loving everything else

Often times even the love for you overpowered the one I had for myself

Tragedy struck each time id run to your call

Each time id allow a tear to fall

A lightening hit my heart each time id come right back into your arms

 I thought of you as my protector when in fact u were the greatest harm

Though the story is well over, I cant help but replay our past in my mind

Each and every time

Someone asks me why am I afraid of love?

I cant help but to always regret, to live a life  knowing I wont ever forget

the time I saw heaven in you eyes

Never noticing until now, that they were always closed anyway!
