Cover image for post I'll Never See The Me You See, by Shy

Shy in Poetry & Free Verse

I’ll Never See The Me You See

I’ll never see the me you see

Beauty and grace 

Simple words that leave me with a bitter taste 

Fractured and flawed 

Devastatingly depraved from the world around me

But you stay

Unafraid of my dangerous mind

The poison that leaks through the cracks that I hide

Cover the holes 

The scars 

And bruises

Stuck in a state of limbo

And still you wait

Never wavering from your post

Guarding and protecting this lifeless ghost

The grains of sand that fall

Quicksand to my heart

Slowly wasting breaths 

Unapologetically insane

This disease killing the cure

Running from the masses

Hysteria heightened with each will to live

Cutting down my progress

Slowly

I sink back into my hole

Solitude excluded 

as they poke and prod

Manifesting fears that were never there

This constant state of despair 

And still you wait

Only given...

Her face is a poem,

stops men in their tracks.

But her piece of art,

is defined by its cracks.

She worries and races,

throughout her whole day.

No one stops to think,

about the price she must pay.

While others want from her,

to her family she gives.

Her freedom must die,

so their hope may yet live.

Then one day she meets him,

recognizes his power.

He begs for her trust,

and bears Bleeding Heart flowers.

Her eyes tell him the story,

of the way she must go.

He respects her decision,

about their love yet to grow.

Her heart is a puzzle,

and by her mind it's driven,

It can never be taken,

it can only be given.

No loss

lasts as long,

as having never

played the game

at all.

Trust

Of what am I more afraid...

Letting you in...

Or letting me out?

This Facade You Call Life

The facade I can see you play is shown all over your face. It has gotten in the way of the way you play.

The play you play in life should not be a facade for this facade you play has become a part of your life you will always have to play to keep your lies alive.

If this facade is your life then keep me out of it I do not want to be a part of it; no facade is worth your life.

I Still Hear Them, Do You?

Disjointed memories,

Thoughts and words,

Pain to be repeated,

Loss without,

End,

Clawing,

At my throat,

Echoing,

Persuasive whispers,

From you.

New words for this

A new space

Home to be?

I can only hope
