Unwanted "love"...
Sent NOT from above.
My soul craves it not...
Once on its lap I did rot.
Now I can see its face...
Before I see disgrace...
For as long as the illusion vies...
tremendous and snarling
the glinting of teeth
who once called you darling
now comes from beneath
the twisted endeavors
of a lover turned sour
like a fistful of feathers
A woman scorned
Roseline Ameyaw
Rejected in love she waits
Screaming at the top of her lungs
Her tears flow down her rosy cheeks
I long to wrap my aching arms around you,
I can still taste the melted vanilla lipgloss you so carefully applied to my trembling lips
You kissed me reverantly like I was a prayer you dared not speak aloud,
"The best of us fall sometimes
The strongest lose their minds
The warriors break through binds
Guided like we wear blinds
But the chaos is in our minds
We change but not in time
We laugh at the freaks and the geeks
Because that’s just the way it is
Like smoke blown in our faces and a voice saying “That’s show biz”
We fear what we don’t know
They scorned the sunlight
is what I was told.
They asked for shadow
Over gold.
But the sun could not help
But
To shine.
So they would run, and they would lock themselves inside.
