Solitary

By Beautiful Incidental

I'm disappearing...
Internally.
My skin is rusted armor
With make believe sheen.
You see strength
But I am frailty -

Plagued with the desire
To surrender to empty.

I am a reflection...
Mirror imagery.
My eyes are tempered glass -
A deceptive countenance.
You see luminosity
But I am obscurity -

Dissipating in reticence...
With the capacity to feel -
Congealed...
Blood flows cold
And nothing is real.

I am an imitation -
Beauty illusionary...

Solitary.

    This is my first I read of yours. I'm completely impressed, and I can't wait to have more time to read back through your collection.

  • A former member wrote: seems to be the message of the day. this really did feel lonely and worn out to me, with all the trying to be loved when you shouldn't. or at least, you shouldn't have to try to be. and it made me feel all the sorrow down below the surface. thanks.
