The Curtain Falls

She  lied  to  make  the  world  more  romantic,
She  cried  to  live  a  lie.
She  wanted  the  truth  |so|pedantic|,
So  haunted  inside  her  insides.

The  falsity  screamed  of  denial,
The  friends,  they  screamed  of  deceit.
The  quantity  of  it  was  vile,
The  quality  of  it  was  sweet.

And  how,  but  oh  how  to  escape  it,
The  thickening  blue  masquerade.
And  what  would  she  give  not  to  fake  it,
The  thickening  bubbling  hate.

So  to  sum  the  up  best  with  a  smile,
And  part  with  a  splendid  affair.
Just  sit  with  her  for  a  while,
And  play  with  her  cascading  hair.

She'll  tell  you  a  story  of  warriors,
And  hero's  and  villain's  alike.
The  struggling  pains  and  endeavors,
Of  the  characters  in  a  show  called  'real  life'.

Please tell me what you think/ criticism more than welcome :)

    I absolutely loved this poem. I thought the spaces added more depth to it as well. I enjoyed all of it but I think that the end was my favorite. Brilliant piece, I look forward to reading more of your work.

    Well thought out! Excellent

    I wasn't sure what I was reading in the first stanza, although it caught my imagination right away. The use of words in stanza two is brilliant and at that point I was beginning to get into the poem. This relates very well to life as we know it or are willing to admit it.
