He Laughed in My Face

The Shadows of My Love

By Monica MGPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Gave him a piece of me

And he laughed in my face

Claiming he's free

In ice, I lost my pace

With a chin held high

Shadows hidden behind the curtain

Wouldn't dare to die

Wouldn't dare to let the dirt in

Waving the dark into my being

So empty, so blindly, in a loss

With cowardly devotion, never seeing

The foolishness of his mistaken cross

Unwrenched sadness

Transmuting into red blaring sirens

Welcome to madness

Hanging up on the tyrants

I believed it.

Lacking color

Missing patterns

Absent of vibrancy

I am not enough.

I believed it.

Failing to see the blank stare in his eyes.

As he made mad dashes, detached.

In his body, a master of disguise

All illusion, everything mismatched.

Far from love. I am certain.

My heart peeled open to see.

It was never me.

I was only another curtain.
