In Love

Topic: DreamsandWishes

I was watching the lights between my frame and me
And the glow they cast on so brightly
From the streets
They were not artificial
For they exist as well as I
In some design, in some design
Where life is short and purpose is what purpose wastes

I was thinking about cashing in my money for leather suits
And the people who let money control them into brutes
They were once like me
Because we all are one
In the scheme of things, in a scheme of things
Where what you do means nothing of what you mean

Understand you’re who you are not what you are and nothing else means anything
And don’t forget that what you’ve learned is not what you’ve lived by any means
Before you slip away
Without love, never in love

I was turning my self into a beast that I despise
And was focused on filling myself with lies
For my safety
But I can’t escape
Because my heart will always win
It defines you, it’s defining you
You’re only what you put in not what you put out of all you do

I was crying for those who pretend onto their own
And the heartbreak that leaves themselves alone
Never understanding it
How someone could see
That a soul is vulnerable, always vulnerable
And so hiding it is hiding things we wear upon a sleeve

Understand you’re who you are not what you are and nothing else means anything
And don’t forget that what you’ve learned is not what you’ve lived by any means
Before you slip away
Without love, never in love

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
