Poem Artwork

How sad to be a victim of ones own self deception
Mistaking love where only a kind smile and gentle heart reside
Forgive my presumption, my naïve and wanting ways
Such is the way of a heart living in loneliness
Discarding reality at the cost of hope
Silently I take my leave
Slipping back into the sanctuary of the shadows
A fortress with buttresses built high
Safe from the needs of my heart
Condemned to dreaming that which can not be
Knowing that this is where I belong
Far from the pain of love’s bittersweet song
Alone to live within myself

Copyright – Michael R. Wood - 2003

I can feel the pain you are experiencing in your words. Very good poem, but it sucks that we have to feel that badly at times...

Devoirs,
Ami
