New poem, what do you think?

Give and Take

I won’t compromise

My integrity

Listen to your

Empty words and

Voided dreams

All that we lost

Found in between

The ends can’t justify

The means

Those beautiful lies

From half hearted innocent eyes

Eyes that I despise

And gorgeous tainted lips

Burning with a deadly kiss

My giving becomes tired

I will no longer

Feed that fire

Let’s get off this tedious ride

Its demons

I cannot abide

Inability to decide

It’s your heart you hide.

Though you never found mine.

I won’t change myself

To suit your desires

Or be sucked into the

Insecurity mire.

Gaining wisdom from these mistakes

A broken heart

And that’s ok

This is how the heart is made

Whole

This unseemly gift is what it takes

To make the spirit

Grow
