No Love For Pretenders

No Love For Pretenders

I'm a bank

Of depreciating love,

Our frayed links

Showering sparks of hatred.

.......All sense of care

Ceases

When out of touch, out of sight 

Soon to be......

Out of mind.

~~~~~~~Pretending 

Is a fucking joke!

I laugh in lies

To reality's face

Preserving truth 

In the lonely dark basement of me.

...........Do you really want to act?

For I can act

Like I haven't the slightest clue 

As to who you are,

~~~~~~Warning shots

Long since been fired

But never did you take heed

The significance of your presence 

Was all loved ones need.

••••••••I become ever wiser

Knowing your forfeit roll

Molts me more stone like

To your care and love

From one another's constant shunning,

Finally it has taken it's toll.

+++++++++Come around convenience 

Affects the salt around my circle 

Corrupting existing love, threatens 

To eat insides up,

Did you really expect me to surrender?

Infinite chances.....when there's no love left here

For Pretenders.

I appreciate that Doc! My wife will enjoy this write she has as much beef with our family as I do, and they will not enjoy the sandwiches that we should be making with it. For now I will write my vent writes and walk on damn eggshells. I'm so thankful to have her, she is my light in the darkness. Cheers to you brother, I appreciate the care because not much is given from certain people who should be giving it.

Devon I didn't see your meaning in this, but for meself a worn out couple going thru the motions...not exactly rowing or arguing all the time, even maybe they still love each other...only no longer as lovers but good friends. They stay, usually cos their afraid of moving on

i wonder how many settle for monotony ?

loved this, an if it's a truth...then it can't be dark :)

Well I appreciate the comment T.A. and im sorry I wasn't clear on what I meant. It was vent write for sure and definitely not about a couple but when I reread this I c ould see how it was interpreted that way. I like the points uou brought up about monotony because I don't think everyone just settles for it, it's just the repetition of life that sometimes can push a relationship to endure the Insanity of everyday similarities, and men adapt and become comfortable on the oyher hand woman just want something different for a change a little spontaneity to make things exciting and I understand that but not all men do. But I disagree that this is truth and it is dark for the emotions felt and the messed up situation that it is could not be recognized as good.

Honesty and rawness within a composition dedicated to the false love. The pretenders usually seek more than love sex and it is in the prelude where the interpretation, the negation is done and hidden pain also make a role within that Bank's devalued loves, loving pretending creates frustration and ends up being very destructive for those who pretend to love.

You can not walk the world destroying lives for pleasure, you have to break chains and looking at the stars Recalling shamelessly love that never was but that failed to happen.

A greeting.

Hello Lucas how are you? This is a wise and wonderful comment you left me, I thank you sir for it is always a pleasure to have your wisdom upon my page, and I appreciate the knowledge bestowed upon me because I couldn't agree more with you. Hope all is well with you, and I send blessings to you and yours.

Vent, Devon, for it will show you where you are, if things are not too good then yelling at the sky will help bring all shit to the surface, and then you will see things more clearly, maybe then you can help each other.

i wish you all the very best my good friend.

Writing can be very cathartic and I use it to relieve tensions I may be suffering from or to minimise stress levels ! Getting the mind focused on writing diverts me from anything that may cause anger and frustrations to boil over !

Wishing you the very best as always. :)
