Your one time attraction
Your source of amusement
Your toy

Nothing, but a device
that spreads a temporary smile across your once jaded face
A plaything
To keep you preoccupied late in the afternoon,
once the sun has set

Tattered.
Frayed.
Over-used.
Worn out.

Entertained you one too many times.

This attraction,
which has kept you beaming all this time
which has kept you from facing your fears of weariness
which you have claimed to love and play with everyday
whose smile has remained stitched on it’s torn up mockery of a face
for you and only you

Whose beady eyes
remained un-phased on that fateful day


she got replaced.

Underneath The Stars




A moment with one's sweet bliss

A single instant upon a lifetime worth of coincidences


All you've ever longed for

All you've ever dreamed of

Lay now, not within your once blessed dreams;

Your one true fantasy

But before you, underneath the foretelling stars




A reality

A reality that has been stricken down upon you

A veracity of what is really before your eyes

What you have forced yourself to succumb to




You finally comprehend

What was once a true paradise,

Was nothing, but an illusion

Meant to delude you from the unbearable truth

That has been laid down in front of your unseeing eyes




Lead to deathly consequences

Causing to lose grasp of what has held you up for all this time

Causing you to surrender your feelings to this now bitter, forlorn night

Intolerable, this love is




Why? Why does thy love continue to run?

Unable to keep up

Incapable of enduring this incessant voyage

Only to find one's love departed




Although 'tis lovely to one's clouded visions

Love

Deceiving and cruel it can become.




Oh cruel love,

Finally slips through my weakening grasp

Incapable of holding onto this illusion to any further extent




Once again, evades my ever-pleading heart
