Chapter Three

A Poem by Alicia Hirshey

Read Authors note

Empty promises
Built with no shame
Endless hunger
Feeding your wicked game
Taunting faces
Who seem to be
Buying time
To take everything
From me
~*~
Energetic love story
Three chapters to tell
Love, pain, commitment
I memorized them well
Pain is misleading
Playing with my strings
Becoming my master
It was I
Who set me free
~*~
Entangled in this web
Fashioned of finer silk
Love will carry me down
It's power slowly kills
If only he knew
The bigger part he played
Would it matter
Or change his way
~*~
Some days
None to often
The better gleams in
A ray of sunshine
Caresses my every limb
Every time we touch
Fireworks seem to fly
If only he knew
These days make him
Just right
~*~
Others he hides within a mask
A veil of himself
Hiding who he truly is
To capture
The world within itself
Growing to love
He swore he never would
Look at him now
Two years down
Three chapters in
His world has spun around.
~*~
Energetic love story
Three chapters to tell
Love, pain, commitment
I memorized them well
Pain is misleading
Playing with my strings
Becoming my master
It was I
Who set me free

Author's Note

I didn't think that this one would end up a love poem for john, but then again i really never mean for any of my poems to turn out the way that they do, they just take a direction of their own. In this poem I cover the three chapters in the story of love. There is chapter one. Love, Chapter two Pain, and chapter three commitment. and we have covered everyone of those and then some that i didn't even realize existed in a relationship until faced with them. i hope you enjoyed. let me know what you think.
