A shell
fragile
and delicate

It's lustre worn
blackened
in the fire

Forgotten now
and gathering
dust

No longer beautiful
but more
delicate
than before

On my own
I try to push through
All the while I wonder
what makes me
the person
that people know?
I assume
they are probably laughing
that I've fallen
into your trap

Outwardly
calm

Inwardly
smitten

I
miss
you
madly

Together again
truly happy
I smile
Your face illuminated

Our bodies know
That time will run out
soon
Furious intensity of
potent love
sates each others passion

The night disappearing
towards dawn
we slip into sleep
exhausted

Unarmed and
Alone

I'm not going to be
foolish

Don't manipulate me
I'm tired, uneasy

I tell myself
I'm taking a big risk

I'm far too deep
To surface in time
I'm having fun discovering blackout poetry right now but altering slightly so its not truly that. I found a book in charity shop for 75p and its been enlightening.
Its not easy just to pick words from the text on one page that signifies how you feel at any one time. This one spans 3 pages

"I'll be
in touch"
you said

"I'll email"
you said

Because
no calls
no texts
allowed

You
pretend to work
for her eyes
I can see

Where is this email
eh?
Lost in the cloud?
Hmm!

Maybe I laze in the clouds
when
it
comes to you

How I fall down
At
anticipation unanswered
At
promises unfulfilled
At
foolishness unquestioned
At
Our fate unbalanced
