Poem Artwork

I awoke today,

I see now the delusion.

What was once honey,

I fear was bitter viniger.

I was a child so easily fooled,

I hung on your every word.

They were gold, they were false.

I see this now ,

my eyes are wide open,

You made me need you,

My drug that i couldn't turn from.

In my dreams i got my fix.

In your voice i felt the high,

Not now, nor ever again.

I am breaking the habit.

I am saying i am done.

The needle is gone,

ripped from my viens.

My last lie, i'm done,

The last lie to my soul.

I will walk now,

With eyes wide open.

The curtain has closed,

Your show is over,

It has been seen fully,

A comedy mixed with betrayal.

Reviewed by Felix Perry
Reviewed on September 27, 2009
Strong and human offering of what a real love that goes wrong or perhaps was only a one sided love can feel when the reality of a breakup sets in. This is sad but also hopeful for as we step forward after such an experience we tend to keep our eys open and our hearts a little more protected.
