Hues of Heartbreak ➳ [Poetry]

the current is based on the future 

the future is based on the current

f a l l    a w a y

 like crisp leaves fall on an autumn day

but it isn't the rock hard ground you fall upon

but an endless abyss of darkness

It cloaks you. An armour of forged ecstasy.

But that, that is merely an illusion 

for cloaks, they are made of strings 

that become undone slowly but nevertheless they fall apart

when the cloak of lies is undone

the cold, a bitter mixture of nostalgic feelings and unwanted desire

seeps into your bones like dirt on plane windows

After all you are, all you where

and all you are is based on what you have seen and where you have been

and if you like me, 

have been diminished to the value of gum

on the sole of your rival's boots

or silenced to a slithering shadow 

then let me tell you a little something

the peeling paint on the wall is more engaging  

than what they have to say

that their opinion, is no more valuable 

than the times that are shifting and ageing

that every bruise, scratch they inflict upon you is painless 

in compassion to the cruel words you define yourself with

"nothing"  "failure"  "worthless"

every word and sentence that falls out of your mouth dear

is the brushstroke of a bigger picture

such nonsense you utter

a language forged to depict your foolishness

your meaningless words , 

a hidden conceal of sweet poems and compliments  

they salute not only lies and false identities  

 but mysteries this world has to offer

- margo.
