Tempting fate in every way
sleepless nights and somber days
Killing time and slowing pain
hiding tears beneath the rain
Running away from all that hurts
Stepping closer to one that converts
Never knowing what comes next
sleepness nights turn into sex
with every person it seems to change
or are we all simply deranged?
Looking at you I couldnt tell
just how deep you`ve dug the well
that hides the water thats in your dreams
the snakes and spiders,the muffled screams
Are you who are at all
Or was it intentional that i should fall
for a liar as beautiful as you
I dont care as long as its true...

Nice flow from line to line and stanza to stanza...you are carried through the poem when you read it.

a good piece of poetry, ah love, it dances through us and makes us want to rip leaves from beauty's smiles.
