You
and I hope that every time
your mouth moves
to make the sound
of the first letter of her name

somewhere

deep down

in the back of your head

you hear my name instead
Blue lights beaming
Red eyes gleaming
Forbidden obsession
Haunting and dreaming
The longing for freedom
The feeling on my tongue
Twisting and writhing
Scattered and fighting
The memories biting
You struck me like lightning.
There is always truth in deceit.

A truth that could be realized no other way.
A truth that tried

time
and
time
again to rear its head

Truth lies  (tries)

in deceit.

TRUTH LIES IN DECEIT.
Don’t you get it?

Look to your deceits and find


your *Truth.
Ranting & Raving
 Oct 2021 Any present moment
Rue
And with a sincere smile,
she looked to the stars
knowing the future was worthwhile,
even, with a thousand scars.
lights flicker
in the distance
far far below

I’m here
looking down on it all
wrapped in a blanket
a book lies next to me
pages flipping themselves
in the cool summer breeze
inside are the sounds of life
outside are the sounds
of the questioning
the air is filled
with random notes
fluttering around me
like guardian angels
I know why they’re here

darkness
sat down
next to me
to keep me company
we look at the flickering lights
in the distance
he tells me
you’d do fine down there
if you wanted to
be a light
surrounded by light
but then he shifts his gaze
the moonlight
dancing through his being
but you’d do great
up there
be a light
where no one has dared to be
and with that
he left
I wanted to run when you fractured my heart
And yet I stayed
clinging onto hope
Years went on
I slowly lost parts of me
you kept trying your hardest
But you couldn’t see
I wanted out
To save you
To save me
I couldn’t persist
I couldn’t reconcile
Sadness crept into my heart
Into my smile
Into every part of me
Yet you still looked at me lovingly
Then painfully
Gradually feelings die
Overwhelming sorrow
I pushed you away
Now alone
Apart
It’s over
Your fingers slip through mine
And You finally let go
This was what I wanted –
Was it not?
Didn’t want to see you anymore
But you and your beauty are all I see
Tears fall down my face
I let you go
I think my demons are just my own
Too revolting for you to be shown,
Yet in the mirror their twins play,
In you, in exactly the same way.
