Poison-Laced

Entangled in words woven of confusion

Succumbed to the luscious sultry taste of illusion

After all reality is over rated

Your offerings are only wasted

 

My hearing is selective to obstruct your voice

Every excuse is merely trivial to my choice

Shades of gray begin to tease my thoughts

I’ve always learned by mistake, not what I was taught

 

Craving what cannot return to my senses

In my moment of nostalgia, I’ve let down my defenses

Once again a poison-laced told fairytale

Seeking out a reason for love to fiercely fail

 

So here I’m found dancing with these savage shadows in this black hole

Open wounds and scars so obvious since I’ve forfeited my sanity and self-control

Hopelessness, foolishness, and oblivious have grown to become my nicknames

As I lie awaking to the tormenting temptation of…

You

    Great write!!

    Really true. Really damn true! I really like the subject and the rhyming, great choice of words and wonderful vocabulary! Great imagery and description of the thoughts and feelings and emotions we've all been through a few times in our lives. I like the way you give "you" a line of it's own in the last stanza, it gives that single word some sort of even bigger importance than usual (since "you" usually means a lot in poetry). Great write, and great word choice and scene setting!
