PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There’s a bullet hole in my past

I can’t keep a secret

but I need to

so I lie awake every night in a coma

made of superhuman proof

Running from light that can’t find me

Crushing desire in my head

I’m holding you back,

I might as well fall

Secrets weigh more than a lifetime

so I want to give you the sun

and everything I think

But instead I stay here with

your playlist overflowing, gone tasteless

That’s what echoes in my ears

as I stay awake every night in a coma

made of lies but

tangled up in more proof than I want to admit
