Poem -
Denial
Something I wrote a while ago
Translucent is your skin
I see through your walls so thinÂ
Grin your grimmest smile so vileÂ
Let’s play pretend
Fake it a whileÂ
Minute by minuteÂ
Mile by mile
We stumble togetherÂ
Both in denialÂ
Trying to savour any hint of emotionÂ
So as to justify the need for devotionÂ
Cringing -
Hearts stingingÂ
This love isn’t lingeringÂ
Empty and hollowÂ
A bitter tomorrowÂ
Bruised skin
Hearts dim
A numbness kicks inÂ
Yet minute by minuteÂ
Mile by mileÂ
We stumble togetherÂ
Both in denialÂ
If only we could be cruel to be kindÂ
But for now it’s likeÂ
the blind leading the blind

Oh god...haven't we all been here Gwendoline. Knowing it's going to end, has already ended but terrified of the carnage. Gave me the shivers remembering. Great write, full.of emotion X
Oh Marion it’s an awful place to be. So glad I got my wings and flew from this one. Wish I had plucked the courage sooner mindÂ

Loved this!
Hello Bill, we certainly do like to try and hold on. So glad you liked this piece. Thank you for reading and giving me feedback 🌻
Beautiful and tragic and what more do need in a poem.
Another superb and engaging write Gwendoline and your ending is to poetically die for.
A real tour de force gemstone of emotions offered and quickly pinned for another deserving reread.
