Numb fingertips, cold toes
Fall is definite yet,
I still sit at my windowsill
looking for a alternative reality,
refusing to see the harshful truth
of secluded loneliness that bares itself
right in front of me.
Sacred words have been exposed;
caressing my every notion of treachery
"rejection of the obvious only makes you ignorant."
The aroma of Strawberries
from his lips seemed so surreal,
as if my lips had extra impressions
to obtain before demonstrating
their infatuation of his efforts.
Little could one know
it was a imprint of ones disloyalty;
the leftovers of feasting off
the pleasures of remaining confidential.
I hungered for his somber, monogamous,
rhythmical composition that he spoke so well,
I fell into it.
Why such a talent waste upon me if the work isn't true?
Days fell into weeks
since my daily regiment of reassurment,
knowing that the more I reflected,
the less he remained attentional.
Disbelief turned into acceptance.
Retaliation then became vexation,
derived from willful neglect.
Now I lie isolated with the single proof
that mind over matter is not a fable;
swollen wrists and broken fingers
that do not diminish the quality
of anguish and fury boldly beaten onto my Clavier.
This discordant melody is created
in hopes even the unfamiliar can relate.
Warm fleece and a crackling fire
furthermore somber my entity.
I Prefer a tranquil state of mind.
Illustrating random shapes
onto the radiating glass
is where I belong,
where I was placed,
where I was deserted.

This seems to be a very deep and painful write, something quite personal and intense. Nice use of imagery to thought, thank you for your entry!
-
WOW! this is deep and very very wonderful. your a finalist for sure. thank you for entering!
-
very good imagery, and I love your background. My only suggestion is with your grammar. There are several instances where you use "a" instead of "an." So I might change those around to help it read easier, but other than that, good job!
