A <br />Curse <br />In my head <br /> <br />A <br />Smile <br />On my face. <br /> <br />A <br />Contradiction <br />That’s all I am. <br /> <br />A <br />Fake <br />Carefree life <br /> <br />While I <br />Wait <br />For you here. <br /> <br />And all you had to do to save me <br />was look down. <br /> <br />Just a flick <br />of the eyes <br />while you glide <br />above the clouds <br /> <br />Just a glance <br />straight down <br />before two heavens <br />finally collapsed on you… <br /> <br />Fire! <br />I shield my eyes <br />Look! <br />Not quite in time <br />Fall! <br />You loved the sky <br />Crash! <br />A million lies <br /> <br />I’m out of time… <br />I’m out of time… <br />I’m out of love… <br />It’s buried with you <br /> <br />Writing <br />about you <br />it’s like you <br />never left <br />A shadow <br />My copilot <br />Waiting in the wings- <br /> <br />alive <br />alive <br />ALIVE.<br /><br />Maya Hanson (mye3 poet)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/verity-6/
