The facade

by White Orchid   May 4, 2010


Heart-Shaped kisses blown my way
Smooth talker full of charm
Easily swept away
Didn't I hear the alarm?

Falling into a sweet oblivion
Inside safe and secure
Using a masquerade to appear as a vision
Didn't I see the lure?

The painted face on glass
Suddenly is removed
On the floor lies the mask
That was once used

Once sweet, gentle eyes
Suddenly dark as night
No longer seeing the disguise
No more milky twilight

As I lay bare on the floor
Screaming "Please help me God"
Pieces of my heart upon walls act as decor
Twisted and caught up in the facade

Should have known never to trust
Something as shallow as lust

    The temporary imperfections of the human race can really be a force for self-affliction and affliction to others, and unfortunately we're all susceptible to it. All we can do is pick ourselves up and remember that one day we won't ever have to worry about it ever again.

    This had a subtle darkness to it, I suspect from the subject matter. Good write as well.

    Its saddening to see such terrible things happen. such experiences has very negative effects later on. trust issues and nightmarish dreams to deal with. one does not simply over come these things with time. i hope you can find the heart to forgive and the mind to learn from past mistakes. i'm sure you put a lot into this and it is good that you can let it out somewhere safe. this was a touching poem you wrote.
