Heart and Soul

if your heart's not in it

then why do you lie?

carrying on as if it were true

words without legs fade in the wind

lost in the languish 

stuck in never gonna happen

meaningless movement of wasted skin

leave me alone

hang on to your rubbish

for rubbish is all that I see

garbage is all I hear

how could I have been so naive

was it all an illusion

deep in delusion,

trapped in a daydream

which was anything and everything other than,

heart and soul...

Honest and true words dear poet.
"words without legs fade in the wind

When the words are worthless of another. We got lucky and caught the liar. I like how you used the description. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

A favourite of mines - Billy Idol - sings in 'Adam in Chains' - "...why make up a lie (and) believe it's true." It behooves the illusionist in his/her art to create that believable falsity but beyond that profession it's just wasted time and energy.But on the other hand we believe want we want to believe.
Thought prodding write here my friend.
Bravo!

Hello ANTO,

I know, I know. This was someone I knew as a child. He called, out of the blue....initially, things seemed like a dream come true...later, it seemed like a dream. (Period) end of story.

I wonder why certain souls play games like that?

I guess, the good news is that I found out sooner, rather than later....the world is a much different place when observed through the eyes of an adult, as opposed to those of a child.

I know you didn't know that! ~lol~

Thank you for stopping by. Wishing you well....

What I meant was...I think this person may have a bit of a convoluted perception of the world which may not have changed all that much since his childhood. Now, that's a scary 😱 thought.....

-- ohhhhhhhhh... you expressed that exasperation so well, alisa... -- the second stanza is particularly powerful and poetic... -- super work, dudette... -- i rarely come across posts that personify raw rage in such an aesthetic way...

Thank you, serah...

I feel better now that I've vented and washed that person out of my realm and world. 😃😃
