Box Of Darkness Poem by Mary Angeli Joie Ostan

I'm still standing here
While you walked away
I gave you all you ever asked
All in an effort to calm you
I quickly completed each task
For a love that seemed true
But your love was deceitful
And I was deceived fully
What appeared to be infinite love
Was snuffed out and left me lonely
I have put on a face filled with lies
That unveil words that say I'm fine
They pretend to of severed all the ties
That hold to when you were mine
The mask speaks of what I need
Although not genuine at the moment
Each word, my thing, a fire feed
Of pushing this torment
I loved you then as I do now
Despite knowing you as a liar
I still not comprehend how
That eye contact lit such a fire
You keep me up in the murky of night
And you murder my waking day
I'm searching for a way to fight
Only to find out that I loved your lies
You gave me a box full of darkness
Hoping to understand that this too is a gift
