You Can't Handle The Truth!

Folder: 
Pain

Your words are

constant contradictions

consistent conflictions

opposing one another

like June’s Gemini

creating virtual alibis

for inevitable lies



Forked tongue split in-two

like a Baptist-Jew

oblivious to any truth

surreal peripheral

makes it hard to deal

with unbalanced decisions

caused by bias tunnel vision



You have set precedent

& made it quite evident

you lack what it takes

to make

this last

I know you can’t

believe or conceive

that I can actually see

that you honestly

love me

when my heart concedes

to bleed

& nurture this life

you once held in your hand

because you can’t understand



You failed me!

Damn, if this doesn't scream "his name" (my man) I don't know what does! This was incredible (not that I'd expect anything less from you.) and it was full of emotion. Miss your words, keep writing!

Wow! What true emotions! I'm so glad that you've started to write again, as you can tell from this poem, you needed to get it all out. I"m amazed by the amount of fans you have. You just posted all your new poems today and they're all already critiqued! I can't ever get enough of your poems, and the emotion you share with them!
