mask that helps me breathe
hides my heartbeat in my feet
gas invades my skin

I see you walking
In the dead of night
Your heartbeat beating
Fast, and full of fright

Your fast pace
Does not deter
The look on you face
You must endure

For I am your shadow
You can't escape
Your mask, your glow
I will soon take

You stop, you stall
You turn around
But alas, the fall
You're on the ground

Next comes the surprise
The weight on your chest
You can only surmise
Maybe, you will pass the test

Maybe you'll remember me
Next time you are out
I'm not just any Tabby
My ruby eyes, will singe your doubt

falling forward face
fine fickle fact for feeling
finding fallacy
Entered a poet's contest and was given the letter "F" as my prompt.

A random thought
And that is when my head filled with dread
"Please let me see the next daybreak
If my life is what you will take"
Before she filled my heart with lead
What was it that my young lass said

A random thought
But my thought is on my heartbreak
My coffin bed is made of lead
Here I lie peaceful with the dead

I lie pale in my coffin bed
Will my heart be split with a stake
What will happen when I awake
Am I covered head to toe red
A random thought goes through my head

This is a story about a girl
And how she grew up in this world
She did everything right
Until she met her white knight
And now their world's in turmoil

A tune was there if
I write to every poem
To leave soon if you didn't have
Tonight with you I'd be
In love, if I have fallen
What to do, I don't know
Help from above, I'm gonna need
I've fallen for you because
This piece was written for a contest on all poetry
Hope you enjoy
