PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I learned the painful truth today

I wouldn't have been able to keep peace

if I had said my say

will this dry mouth and ache in my mid section

make me sick

why do these thick choking tears in my throat

seem to stick

why did he have to tell me the truth

without emotion and make me feel so stupid and

easy

the region that used to be my heart is cold and

numb

my stomach vile and queasy

he made his point so abundantly clear

now the day has come to face my worst possible

fear

he was an illusion in an almost desperate

lonely woman's dark and erotic dreams

even now I feel my violent heart angerily thump

while my inner dying self wails and screams

there goes my wonderful insperation

that put many lyrical lines to the page

the time has come now for me to step off this

stage of elation

and climb back into my lonely little cage.....
