Fake a Smile

Everywhere you go, He follows.

Anywhere you want to be, He’ll wait for you.

Constantly walking above you,

Underneath you

And inside of you.

Watching your every move,

Analyzing you.

He knows your weaknesses,

What makes you scream.

He can see every and anything you desire

And He vows to give it to you.

He wants you to taste it and breathe it,

To dream it and see it.

He manifests in the prettiest of forms,

In a red dress, stunning and intriguing.

Tempting, undressing you.

He soaks you up and leaves you dry,

With nothing left to show.

He f***s you softly in your bed

And rips your heart out in the morning.

Dead, left to lie in your own regrets.

Watch out, because He shows no mercy,

And favors no man.

Listen to my advice,

For I know Him all too well.

I've danced with the depths

And got lost in this vicious cycle.

I know what He’s like.

He’s living inside of me.

[Jake Donald Stephens]

The capacity for darkness and cruelty in people can be discouraging. I've often thought this world was actually Hell, because the bad guys always win, there is suffering everywhere, and nobody cares.
But forsooth. All that matters is being yourself, because that's really all you can do in life. Love yourself for who you are, and in time, others will come to love you for it too. And the bad guys can just go f**k themselves.
Great poem, Gabby, very thought provoking and powerful.

There's nothing more disappointing than humanity, as negative as that sounds. Sometimes I lose hope in people, but I guess I live for art and that small population of good people. Can't help but feeling like hell sometimes though. Thank you for this c:

[George Peck]

I loved it. You made me feel your pain anger and sadness.

This was totally awesome and strongly reminds me of a novel I have been writing. Reminds me of one of the characters which made me even more attracted to this poem and its meanings. Totally loved it so keep up the excellent work! :)

[Gabby Nieves]

Oh wow thats awesome, I'd love to read that novel. Thank you so much c:

[Violet Stone]

Your welcome and I'm still working on it but might post it on Writers Cafe when I'm half way through doing the novel so if you would like to read it then I could message you when I have published the first chapter? :)

[Gabby Nieves]

Omg yes for sure, I'm really interested in it. That would be great if you could:D

[Violet Stone]

Okay, cool! I'm so happy that you want to read it, Its so nice to have someone wanting to read it lol. I will post it as soon as I can for you but I should warn you, there may be some spelling mistakes and such but I will proof read it as much as I can for you :)

[Gabby Nieves]

Don't worry about it, I know how the writing process is, better to get the ideas out and worry about proofreading later. So not a big deal, I'm just excited to read it lol if this reminded you of it then it must be pretty dark and thats awesome. Haha cant wait c:

[Violet Stone]

Yea, true but I still end up worrying about my spelling despite that lol. And yea, i'd defiantly say its dark in most places. Its a supernatural/romance type of thing but not the twilight sort of thing. Lol.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and once he gets inside...you can't get him out...and there is a part of you that doesn't want to...

for he gives you that raw, reckless abandon feeling of passion and crazy good love.

[Gabby Nieves]

It's a shame you always end up feeling worthless. Like some kind of natural drug

[Girl With A Pen]
