Blooming skies


(poems go here) Mystified by the consumption of doubt. It's the only place in my mind I feel comfortable, drowning in the deepness of the dark thoughts of curiosity. Love is a topic I have failed, took No interest to prevail. The persuasion of lies and kisses governed me to be submissive to any ideas or thoughts; my own judgment was the one I fought. Blue skies and dark brown eyes didn’t seem to appealing, every night I lay in bed weeping... about the possibility that I won't be loved. I send prayers to my father above, A heart that beats can it still be torn into two? I use to hold my breath for you until my face turned blue. I was a mockery and a commodity all at once in your world. You played with my mind like a child being persuaded to do a task for some candy. I became tarnished by you.... the emotional bandit. I miss the softness of your lips, the way you curled your brow before we kissed. You were a friend of mine that had become a vague memory over time. The memories between us will last; I became a better person without you, now you’re a figment of my past.
