it seemed to ease the pain
at dancefloor pumping volume
moving and posing
while juxtaposing
unclothing
luscious strangers
far beyond grasp
it seemed to ease once again
upon a stage
beneath the lights
with someone elses words
finding a way to cope without love
the love denied
now I'm grown tired
of saving face
and I stumble to fall
running away from myself into poetry
romancing pictures of a life i wanted to be
and ending here with
the me i'd been disguising
afraid i couldn't be loved
still standing
learning to love life itself
hanging on by a thread

Thank yoiu Rose.
Well versed! Poetry definitely is medicine for an aching heart! That is how my journey began, heartbroken!
I'm letting a bit more of me hang out here i guess. Thank you Dove.
Very heartfelt words
Confined the feels in letters of poetry
So true dear poet
Thank you spiller.
This pulled at my hearts strings dusk😢 Wonderfully penned😉🌟✌️🕊
WE all carry baggage i guess, sometimes when seeing others reveal it tugs at something so similar inside us. Having that something inside us is what makes us poets though, it drives us to let it out, let it be seen and felt.
I'm pleased you related to this piece, thank you.
Heart-tugging these words from the depths of honesty - - "learning to love life itself" births peace and beats all the other loves - -- a write that speaks to the soul of this reader dear Dusk.
It's a part of me thats always been in my shadow, following me around. Bits of it find their way into my writing but today there's much of it on show.
