They Never Fade
Is crying the answer to thoughts?
Is it a way to escape from reality or to ignore it entirely?
Torment, reality, a difference one can not see,
Waking up every night, screaming, shaking, sweating
Hating to love, when did the spiral start?
Happiness used to come easily to us,
Now I’m just grasping at straws.
Time is slipping by like sand within my hands,
Yet I can’t do anything but withstand.
Maybe holding on has become second nature
Standing on the edge is becoming harder.
Life has become tangled, no longer in order.
I tried, I really did
Loving used to be as easy as breathing,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
I never knew that one day that affection,
False perfection,
Words of satisfaction,
For that same intimacy, would leave my neck wringing.
I write these words, knowing time will let them fade.
But those scars of infliction, written with inks of poison,
Will forever stay.

About Me
About me
I tend to be a pessimist, maybe that's why my poems seem to have an undertone of sadness at times? But really, when I feel happy, my work seems to brighten. I'm just an artist, whether it be a visual artist, writer, musician or even a dancer. I'm Peri Lune, dwelling under the moon - by the pear tree.
