PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I wear my words like armor
A web to catch your tongue
The lies that flit like fireflies
The stories left unsung

I walk the world untouchable
Just moments out of reach
And long for simple human love
A lesson hard to teach

You watch me carve the path you walk
And spin the dreams you speak
Like a god upon the precipice
Of a bridge that's much too weak

The slightest shift to tear apart
The reality you've bred
And leave your life in tatters
Hanging only by a thread

So take care in where you toe the line
To cross it could prove fatal
And the only moments left to you
Are from the grave until the cradle
