A Glimpse at the Truth
I like the colors out here
Weed flowers shine a little brighter
And the moon that haunts us with what it’s seen us do
Hides a little higher
I creep out to watch you
Moving careful across the wooden path
And I wait to see what you’ve been keeping from me
I am the one you spend your days with
Your jester and shredded skin princess
Like a car driven into a lake
I wait for you to remember what you’ve left with me
You and your days are all numbered
But mine are spent counting and frustered
I like the heat from the stones
That I wait for you beneath
You walk over us, take a second to smile at the moon
The one you hide from is me
Abyssus abyssum invocat
The damned
Sleep quiet
And weep
Weed flowers shine a little brighter
And the moon that haunts us with what it’s seen us do
Hides a little higher

Moving careful across the wooden path
And I wait to see what you’ve been keeping from me
I am the one you spend your days with
Your jester and shredded skin princess
Like a car driven into a lake
I wait for you to remember what you’ve left with me
You and your days are all numbered
But mine are spent counting and frustered
I like the heat from the stones
That I wait for you beneath
You walk over us, take a second to smile at the moon
The one you hide from is me
Abyssus abyssum invocat
The damned
Sleep quiet
And weep

This is so creatively written; I'm definitely going to have to reread it to make sure I understanding the full depth of it :)

Thank you for reading and for adding it to your reading list! This one ended up inspiring my current book in progress, which I'm kind of winging as I write it rather than having a plan for it, but it has the same struggle between trusting someone and learning that you shouldn't have. Also, there are alligators. Haha. I hope you're having a nice night :) I noticed you have Edgar Allan Poe listed as one of your favorite writers- do you have a favorite poem or story that inspires you to write?

Good luck with your book! It's not easy to do, but it's worth the dedication (in my opinion anyways haha)
As for Poe, it's a bit cliche, I think, but "The Tell Tale Heart has a special place for me; it was the first work of his I ever read. I also love "The Pendulum and the Pit." How about you? I draw a lot of inspiration from his writing, it was ahead of its time.

Thank you! I need all the luck I can get haha. I opened up this book with like 30 of Poe's works but I just ended up getting distracted and writing a poem instead. I remember liking the Tell Tale Heart! I have not read the Pendulum and the Pit- I will tonight. I mostly draw inspiration from movies and modern novels, like Palahuniak's Fight Club :) I'm still trying to figure out pacing for stories- like at what point of the story should a major new thing happen. I tend to get wrapped up and overwhelmed by technicals like story structure and writing is more fun when you just go for it I think! Hope you're having a good Easter!

Thank you, I hope you're having a nice Easter as well! That is part of the trouble with writing for me too. Sometimes I feel as if I get so wrapped up in the details that I miss the point haha let me know what you think of that story, it's really good x
