Even When I Know You Lie to Me

The beat of my heart makes it difficult
not to be blinded
by the reality of my own thoughts
when they are broken down within the sounds
of my dreams.
Yet, no one hears the wind
running through my mind
and I find nothing is
as it seems.

All I do is race to hide from the smoke of lies
to find subtle truth
inside of uncertainties colors
but what I come across
means nothing to you.
When I drift off to sleep I bleed mirrored glass
until I forget about the bruises
for a moment
or two.

I want someone to listen to the words I speak
even when breezes fill their hands
and time goes by quicker
than the air they tasted.
No longer do I wish to live and breathe
In this life of empty rooms
where my heartbeat
is wasted.

Tonight I sit and weave faith upon grounds
where forever
I have searched through eyes
that paint my mistakes with words
of ecstasy.
Yet still, the beat of my heart
makes it difficult
not to be blinded by love,
even when
I know....
you lie to me.

Such great passion in these words Neva. "No longer do I wish to live and breathe in this life of empty rooms'... that line speaks to me so well. ;)

We may not hear the wind running through your mind, but we all certainly hear and are captivated by the words you write.

Another great weave my friend. :)

Thank you Mark :)

This poem is emotionally charged and filled with overflowing passion and need and desire. To live within a love that is truthful and honest is a pleasure worth seeking and fighting for. The word usage in this piece blew me away. very sultry and beautiful though sad.

This poem is filled with passion and monumental emotions. Each stanza holds its own merit. Lovely write!

Thank you Becky :)

Pain so well conveyed in this eloquently written work of the heart, the heart speaks volumes of hurt and yet seeks to believe the lies. Such is the dilemma laid out in this poetic cry, a resigned will because of too much love. Great writing!

i like the "i bleed mirrored glass, until i forget the bruises "
it makes me feel that the self-realization is slipping away, she is letting the knowledge that this might not be the best thing fall away, because she doesn't want to know, she'd rather be blind. i really like it. wonderful :)

The heart speaks loudest...but it's not always honest. :(

I want someone to listen to the words I speak

Words are sometimes wasted on the ones we care for most. x
