"unfaith" poems - Hello Poetry

Growing up in Poughkeepsie, the barbells of unfaith always shook her wrists when she lifted "I will be gone from here soon enough" over her shoulders. "I will love like crazy." Grown-up in the city, she swallows hard in the marble mirror and thinks "Maybe today will be the day," but it never is, and she ignores the petulant inside voice saying "Unfaith is unfaith but so is dead-eyed companionship, so unclench your fists"--she hasn't yet.

“I trust you on this,” he says but he doesn’t know that I’m haunted by the idea of stepping into another mans arms. I watched my father leave a trail of love letters throughout our two story house addressed to a secret lover. I read them word for word and admired his love but hated that it was for another woman. They say infidelity runs in the family, like a deep rooted disease and I’m afraid I am next. I was the accomplice to the boy I loved while he fooled another. He stole midnight kisses from me but returned every morning for her. He stole innocence from me, and happiness from her. I was a chess piece to a boy who was playing a very good game. I am not my father’s daughter I am not his past mistakes, but I hold my own wrong doings and they lead me to unfaith. I would slit my throat and hang myself to dry before I followed my father’s footsteps, but before you say you trust me just know what lies in my veins.

What Lies In My Veins

“I trust you on this,” he says but he doesn’t know that I’m haunted by the idea of stepping into another mans arms. I watched my father leave a trail of love letters throughout our two story house addressed to a secret lover. I read them word for word and admired his love but hated that it was for another woman. They say infidelity runs in the family, like a deep rooted disease and I’m afraid I am next. I was the accomplice to the boy I loved while he fooled another.

Or ever the knightly years were gone With the old world to the grave, I was a King in Babylon And you were a Christian Slave. I saw, I took, I cast you by, I bent and broke your pride. You loved me well, or I heard them lie, But your longing was denied. Surely I knew that by and by You cursed your gods and died. And a myriad suns have set and shone Since then upon the grave Decreed by the King in Babylon To her that had been his Slave. The pride I trampled is now my scathe, For it tramples me again. The old resentment lasts like death, For you love, yet you refrain. I break my heart on your hard unfaith, And I break my heart in vain. Yet not for an hour do I wish undone The deed beyond the grave, When I was a King in Babylon And you were a ****** Slave.

The old resentment lasts like death, For you love, yet you refrain. I break my heart on your hard unfaith, And I break my heart in vain. Yet not for an hour do I wish undone The deed beyond the grave, When I was a King in Babylon And you were a ****** Slave.

You say you can't believe in god. I trust in god, like I trust in physics. Your world has been shattered. Mine is safe and sound. You went through despair and death. I've seen not more than flowers wither. Your unfaith is made by experience. My faith is made by the words of others. You're confident of your philosophy. I just trust in faith. A tunnel separates us. You went through it and lost god. I wonder whether I'll lose him too.

A tunnel called death

You say you can't believe in god. I trust in god, like I trust in physics. Your world has been shattered. Mine is safe and sound. You went through despair and death. I've seen not more than flowers wither. Your unfaith is made by experience. My faith is made by the words of others. You're confident of your philosophy. I just trust in faith. A tunnel separates us. You went through it and lost god. I wonder whether I'll lose him too.

God's firmament: only a child's planetarium projector— If only I could project my vows in a sphere of light with even a handful of batteries, all the eyes in the world could see how ******* thin my gossamer guilt is. My conscience is silky smooth like Venus-razored legs.

Unfaithful: Full of Unfaith.

I cried too much lately And I still cry now My heart breaks into so many pieces But you seem so **** heartless What would happened if we still be together? Would you ever treat me as your perfect lover? You haunted me in my dream every night Have you ever think of it tonight? I regrets everyday about my hard complicated life Why you confessed to me in the wrong time? I been waiting the words from you in so many ways Is it not enough love you prefered from me when we are away? Everything I spoken seem so useless Now you gone like, today and forever.
