Lonely Motives Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

Lonely Motives

Rating: 5.0


Taking a fall, taking a tumble, for the sake of the moment.
How hard is it resist, a turned cheek raw and red.
An actor in training, practice upon the staging.
A promising lie put upon the fading sunrise.
And god only knows why?
Motives unclear, what's under that hood?
Fear, insecurities, anger, justice for an imagined slight.
Why don't you confront that bully outright.
Instead of diminishing your credibility.
You might be surprised by their reaction.
A retraction, a apology, a person looking to be noticed by you.
Attention deprived.
An aching lonely soul just looking for a comic relief.
A laugh to get you by.
Been there, no need for knee jerk reactions.
Not so serious, a casual interpretation.
A game being played behind the scenes.
Foreplay to test your limits.
Wheres the line?
Whats too much?
Whats not enough?
How do we balance ourselfs?
A question of values, being morally objective.
The intention was never to make you feel defective.
Socially awkward, come on dance with me.
Dance with me and finally be free of needing to be the enemy.
