Sinking

Sinking

A Poem by icaros13

Reality
Is a luxury
My sanity
Cannot afford
This fantasy
I chose to believe
Makes truth
So easy to ignore
But
When I'm alone at night
Try to close my eyes
The visions make me cry
I cannot abide
Reality

Reality can be an utterly cold affirmation in the wake of broken dreams. As my heart breaks against the dawn of your face I know no comfort to the pensive visions that plague the scheme behind my eyes. The sharp edge of your words is borne from the whimsicle absence of a once profound attachment. Now shes a roving loss of words and hope. We cannot abide reality but maybe we can brighten the gloom of its horizon. Maybe we can rise from the ashes of my imprudence.

I often feel that way about my reality when I wake up, I love how you started and ended with reality, cause that's pretty much the truth about reality. sometimes it just sucks compared to dreams.
