Transparency Poem by Joey DeSantis

Open wide
Im still here, cant you see?
Standing two feet from that doorstep
If you break, just please warn me.

I wont ask for much
Just be my dream
Can you not hear me?

Am i too far in the distance?
Just pretend.
All we need is a lie, and your tears.

After that ill be right by you
Just for you to be my false hope.

Suddenly, you dont shine as bright as you use too
You never shine like you use too.

Does that sadden you?
Does that hurt you?
Do you feel that?
Thats me.
That will forever be me.

Im no longer there.
I am cold.
Your sun will not break this ice.
Im done.

And when youre alone.
When you realize you dont shine as bright as you use too.
Always remember.
Thats me.
