Reality is unforgiving so I keep my head up in the clouds
Yes I’m introverted because my thoughts are way too loud

Maybe the truth would make a difference
Maybe you’re just not the one
Maybe it wouldn’t change a thing
Maybe what’s done is done

Shakespeare was my muse

We grew together, we fused
disappearing act, once removed
We blossomed, we unfurled
But we were not meant for this world

Limitations

I can’t tell you anything real
You don’t live in reality
I have to fake how I feel
It tests my own mortality

*******

You cut me off at my most vulnerable
You rob me of my feelings
You reduce me to nothing
And Im still left wanting more

Selective memory

Red flags you ignore, wave a white one in its place
Just to help you escape once more
From time and space
It's all just background noise when in lovers embrace
One by one memories of you I will erase

Melinda Barrett Nov 2018

Practice makes perfect

Ignore the elephant in the room
Hoping you acknowledge it soon
All this time I always thought it was you
But you broke me because you were broken too
