Truth Is, I'm Done Pretending.

Conceal my beliefs into an informal newspaper
while the ink antiquates into a blurring vapor
desiring a steel shelter
in which you can't conform;
Position me correctly in your faded memory
I've accepted that you're just temporary
but are you able to let me slip between your fingers
& let me go[?]

Let the acid rain
sink into your skin one last time
& we'll break free
committing another lustful crime;
you implied every secret that I've denied
dressing me in a more regretful attire
I've held onto your hand so long
that I simply feel beclouded without you;
lift the mask before my eyes
so I can examine who you've become
& if the ride is worth the thrill
honey,
you might as well use me as you will.

The sun illuminates our flaws so they're seen clearly
but you're closer to never
& further from maybe
it's tug-of-war when it comes to revealing our thoughts;
I'll pencil you in the crevices of my heart
to guarantee you I'll coincidentally fall apart
because I can't pretend I'll be okay
anymore

I haven't forgotten
that you care to some extent
but it's the realization of love
that I'm trying so hard to prevent;
I've denied every secret you've implied
I'm fighting my way through your chains
to regain the mistakes I once endured
so I can figure out who I am without you;
lift the uneven weights from my throat
I'm choking on your intentions
& if the ride is worth the fall
honey,
you might as well give it your all.

I once could've held the moon
to advocate my oxygen
but you took my breath away.

    Ohhh, wowww.

    Hoelith, this was amazinggg:) I love the raw emotion in this piece. 

     

    ~Position me correctly in your faded memory

    Aww, those lines made me so sad for some reason. Maybe it's because such good things in life are only here temporarily sometimes.

     

    ~& we'll break free
    committing another lustful crime;
    you implied every secret that I've denied
    dressing me in a more regretful attire~

    Oh god, I loveee those lines! Especially "dressing me in a more regretful attire". You have such an incredible way with words! Metaphors=love. Your metaphors=in love. Haha that made sense in my head;)

     

    ~& if the ride is worth the thrill
    honey,
    you might as well use me as you will.~

    Uhm, that song is one of my favorites. For the record =] And I absolutely lalaLOVE how you incorporated the lyrics into your poem. Astounding.

     

    ~it's tug-of-war when it comes
    to revealing our thoughts;
    I'll pencil you in the crevices of my heart~

    Ahhhhh. IMAGERY & METAPHORS AGAIN. Simply fantabulous! You just take the most ordinary things and turn them into something so much more meaningful and deep.

    Ohemgee. I hate you for writing so beautifully:) DON'T EVER SAY I AM A BETTER WRITER THAN YOU ARE! There is soo much power embedded in these lines.

     

    I once could've held the moon

    but you took my breath away.

    Again, imagery/metaphors/ILOVEIT. I enjoyed the idea of having once being able to hold the mood, but then someone comes along and makes you breathless. Pure poetry, right there.

     

    Overall, a wonderfully penned piece. You are brilliant and my best friend, and I love you a lot =] <333333
