the light at the end of the tunnel is fading [and so am i]

You are a fabrication of my mind.
You should realize that by now
[or i should]

You have simply disemboweled my need to live.
As you know, I only live for you.
Don't you need me any more?

These alabaster metaphors are so transluscent now
filled with heat and desire.
My brain has matured enough to know,
you aren't the one I hoped for,
nor adore any longer.

Don't cry, my love.
These prosthetic bruises will heal in time.
You always knew that I was a flimsy excuse for a lover.


Is there a need for me to reiterate my reasons,





except to keep me here another day?

    8.7/10

    Very well written. I like the ideas thought out throughout this poem. The only thing I can recommend for my future rounds contest is lengthening it more. Otherwise, this was very good. Welcome to the finalists♥

    sometimes there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel for some, watched my sister struggling with coming and going for a long time. Very wonderful poem

    Your words have done well to paint a vivid image but this one line stood out to me above the rest...

    'You always knew that I was a flimsy excuse for a lover.'

    I don't know why but that image there is very unique and truly deserves a bit of recognition in my opinion. Thank you for entering. Best of luck to you!


    Blessings
