Misled

I was challenged to write a poem using specific words.

 

I mis-interpret the action of you

Misled by the tune

Thinking it meant truth

Reality facing

Is not in your repertoire

You  made a bargain with the devil

And now live in

The apathy of the day

From dawn to dusk

You deny it

Never facing truth

In one fell swoop

A message meant to

Shatter my naive image of you

I anticipate the end

Your skin like porcelain

As you lay in the grave

Created by the randomness

Of your addiction

Author's Note

The list of words is:
interpret, bargain, consider, apathy, dusk,
deny, shatter, specific, anticipate and porcelain.

How did I do?

Ouch, what a powerful ending. Just didn't see that coming. The bite of an addiction. Super job.

Your skin like porcelain
As you lay in the grave
Created by the randomness
Of your addiction

I like the creativity of expression in regards to character. The porcelain was a particularly good touch. I sense loss and tragedy all in such a short time. Your very good at packing a lot of punch in just a few lines. Good write thanks.
