Mirage

Missing image

Deeply rooted in my soul

the solitude of love

like a weed that keeps coming back

season after season

I've seen you

stare at her

foolishly not knowing a mirror is behind you

but facing me

like the dog that you are

greed has filled the air

with broken promises to me

with another

still I wait for your arrival

continiously I let you in

a constant slap me in my face

the lies I intake and

embrace them gently

still you persue me

fake smiles tainted gestures

rest peacefully somehow

I lay awake at night

stiff with the grief

that has burned my

dark skin beyond recognition

of lasting impressions

that everybody knew...

except me

or at least that is what I wanted for you to think

I know you see me....so

dance...dance the night away

you have no idea

what is about to happen...

    Great poem!

    So many men are dogs, most of them are... They hide their tails behind sweet words.

    Powerful write. It made me think of getting tired of someone playing around with a person's heart and the betrayed wanting to give the person doing the betrayal a taste of their own medicine, so to speak. Keep up the good work.
