Name me one reason not to see you!
You are not nearby…
That’s not it!
You’ve filled me, even I don’t know why.

Name me one reason not to await you!
You’re left…
That’s not it!
I know how to lose you. I can stay bereft.

Name me one reason not to hear you!
You are silent at all…
That’s not it!
I see your words in whole.

Name me one reason not to look for you!
You’ve betrayed me one day…
That’s not it!
I know how to forgive and allay.

Name me one reason not to hold on to you!
You'll fall beneath your one...
That's not it!
I'm ready to fall down after you've done.

Name me one reason not to love you!
I was mistaken…
Not give a ****!
I can’t live without you! I'm awaken!
Thank you for reading it! 💕
I

Fear

                       You are mistaken for that's not truthful at all

I

Fear

                       I don't like you like you think

I

Fear

                      I instead love you right up to the moon
Happy Thursday everyone!

What a ridiculous night…
It’s cold.
My body wants love a lot,
It’s bold.
It wants embraces and caresses
Till one drops.
What a ridiculous night…
It’s lachrymose.

What an immoral spring…
It’s obscene.
En masse and at me in whole
It’s too mean.
I thought I could do everything.
I was mistaken.
What an immoral spring…
My pain is untaken.

What an endless year…
It’s torture.
There’s no happiness and pain is
Too often.
I wish I could burn it out
In whole.
What an endless year…
Stop it all!

What a short tiny life…
It’s frustrating.
I thought that everything lies ahead.
And time is unending.
And I can correct everything
And create.
What a short tiny life…
I want it more! Wait!
Oops!
Thought I put that in private,
Didn't mean to post it.
Embarrassing, didn't know that was set on public.

Today I need you
One line of words mistaken
Remember I live
Not wanting to be forgotten.

distracted yet again by
the fullest of moons
on an unexceptional night
blown out of proportion
by undue reverence
and misplaced relevance
looming larger than it seems
nature should allow
a false sense of light
marred by hues
of orange and red
forced upon it by
this unseasonably late
summer's twilight
there are those who
will assign meaning to
this sight and to any
signs thus associated
guided by the symbolic
grounded in the scientific
somehow the truest
of explanations are overlooked
the simple will always
inexplicably
be far less appealing
than the convoluted
mistakes you never
learn from
lessons,
a concept worth messing with
conversing with a *****
got the better of me
started thinking,
growth is the same
as leprosy
could a lesson in empathy
come for free?
could i be forever
mistaken?
mistaking a lesson with irony
iron out the wrinkles
then get back to me
then get back to me

thought you were
a waiting-to-be-written song
but you were just a lyric
and you proved me wrong
Melody Mann Feb 2021
Now she scripts her story,
to comprehend a broken promise you led her to believe.

Left stranded she sits with empty wishes,
reality shifted and demasked the charade performed.

This truth weighs down harder with each passing hour,
demystifying the future she thought known.

Trusting their situation,
she had fallen prey to the captivation,
from this illusive trance she wakens,
and realizes she was mistaken.
