The Poet: Ravenous 50 Poems ChallengeThe honesty behind your eyes
breaks my heart at every lie.
Cuz truth was easy when said in theory
not when tested beyond one's fury.
The innocence hidden in your smile
tears me up with bitter denial.
Cuz purity was easier to believe
and tainted souls were faster to acheive.
The beauty painted on your face
made me shatter beyond disgrace.
Cuz allure merely ran skin deep
and true beauty takes more to keep.
The reality that was your mind
had broken down and was left behind.
Cuz no one could really be
the perfect being you made me see.
