Your Ironic Truth Poem by Twilight Whispers

And I can feel the fire burning inside me,
white hot, angry flames
tearing at my ankles,
tearing, tearing, burning my innocent toes,
and the sand underfoot does nothing to shade the
pain I feel and sometimes I all I want is for the
fire to absorb me so I become one with the
frustration and the heartache and the loneliness
you have forced me to feel.

Maybe you meant to leave me stranded, feeling worse than I was before?
Maybe you meant to push me down, crashing to the floor?
Maybe you meant to slam the door so hard that you splintered every feeling I ever had for you?

I can no longer make excuses for you!
I cannot pretend you were simply too busy to come find me!
I created a perfect image of you; a beautiful, flawless, euphoric friendship
which was as truthful as the things you silently promised.
Did you honestly posses such deceit and shallowness to dropp me so suddenly into water so deep,
When the tide was at it’s highest when
I’d not even learned how to swim?

The waves towered over me and I fought and I fought and I fought to overcome them,
But as I battled the ferocious wind spat like a tame cat gone wild,
The storm clouds rolled heavily over the ocean,
Malevolent against the inevitable fury of my heart and my mind.
Raindrops bombed down like tiny, unforgiving knives,
Thrashing at my face as I desperately pleaded with the sky to stop this pain,
this stupid, angry pain, and

Where did I go wrong?
Tell me what I did so mercifully to deserve this uncontrollable agony you’re putting me through?

I’m beginning to wonder, why did I put so much effort into the friendship I deemed true?
Why did I ever let my trust belong to you?
And as I’m sheltered in the darkness,
Lonely, cold and blue,
I wonder why I bothered with the
Heartless, selfish

You
