PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I knew you since forever

you were somehow a part of me

entwined within me

I thought we shared the same soul

somehow it seemed that way

you inspired me to do so many things

I thought I knew you

But I was wrong

my outside changed to become new

but the inside stayed

you couldn’t find me anymore

like a camouflaged chameleon

hidden but seen through a different light

then you found me in myself

somehow hidden in a grave yard

of your old and thrown away memories

my new self

you thought had changed

and I did

but not my soul

we started drifting

and I felt you pulling at me

every broken harsh word

hung in the air

like a thick cloud of smoke

making me choke

I couldn’t breathe

all I could hear was you

like a snake hidden beneath the grass

for too long

now to come out

spitting your vile venom on me

screaming, yelling, and covering me in harsh remarks

and I became lost you

with no identity

a faceless mask of tragedy

lost in a world somewhere

you kept me locked up

breaking down my careless and free spirit

I saw a fire come out of you that burned my eyes

you ate my very soul

chewed and spit out my every word

as if I were now the enemy

now blind you were to see

appearances come and go

within time there are so many

but you only have one soul

that never turns or falters

just stays hidden within
