Gluttony hasn’t always been a friend to me,
But you have,
And for the first time I feel like it has passed.
We went too fast,
And there is no slowing down for the crash.
She never told me a lie,
To this day,
And I did the same.
But, when I got scared I closed my eyes;
The sky came closer than a hope for understanding me.
Gravity shifted and I hid the facts (that will never be given),
And the truth flew into oblivion.
It wasn’t much,
But it developed a misconception.
Brain waves reaching antennas’ that don’t receive reception.
To the beloved I feel betrayed,
Like seven of the fallen in the depths of flame.
There is no time for head games,
But I’m confused just the same.
I made a wish that came true
-- my dream became reality --
But it’s a nightmare of parity.
The star’s above are weeping;
The roses thorns are piercing.
My dying heart is bleeding,
And all I need is her.

I absolutely love the ending. You did a great job with this. Keep up the great writing! -
The imagery is great in this poem. It's hard to pick out one favorite part, I like it all. However, line 10 really catches my attention, "the sky came closer than a hope for understanding me", and line 15 also catches my attention as well, "Brain waves reaching antenna's that don't receive reception". I enjoy reading unusual phrases that create pictures in my mind. Phrases like this give your poetry unique style. I look forward to reading more of your work.

THe ending here is superb. I love that last stanza so much. Very nicely penned.

It's just this...
Why is all the best and original poetry often skipped and ignored while everybody looks for something to keep their minds off what is their reality?
