Sudden Death Denial

By Maxxine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I'm afraid of falling much too quickly. I've tripped and now sunk low. I've jested once too often And now become your foe. It's sudden death denial, It's a blow I cannot take. So, with grace and ease I stand up. And I begin to fake. You think that I'm not for you. You thought that I was mad. But, no friend, I am neither, It's just that I am sad. For I know what we are. And I know we cannot be. So, I choose the path of silence. I lock love up eternally. Written October 7th, 2001 © on Oct 07 2001 03:04 AM PST   0 • 1
