steel facade
phantasmal Jul 2013
behind her steel facade
is a sorrow with no reason
emotions locked imprisoned
morph into despair

behind her steel facade
hides a boiling, raging love
longing to be free
like a tiny white-winged dove

behind her steel facade
is a well filled deep with tears
coiling like storm waters
like her deepest darkest fears

behind her steel facade
lives a hope with dying light
with smoke and flickering life
it died and turned to night

- - -

behind her steel facade
lies a dead weight in her chest
inching towards destruction
but that she'd never confess

Facade
Shay Garner Nov 2010
wish i could tell you i told you so,
but i didn't.
with each comforting heartbeat,
the only portion of life that's always there for me
we can only leave together.
the edge of my eyesight would blur,
peripherals no longer
i find it preferable that way,
and i saw those stars
which i love but am confused by.
you are one of those stars.
i think i despise you.
you once appeared so paranormal
divine.
now that facade of a goddess
has shattered
and the fresh shards
piercing deep into your innocent flesh and own self
and mine
change how we view one another.
driven by desperation
you've sunk into the deepest
and darkest scale of your unexplored options
now where are you?
inside the remains of that disintegrated facade,
that facade of strength and perfection.
now i see you as i should've from the start.
raindrops of pure lust and stupidity
pour from those clouds of truth and true self
that you rely on so heavily
to conceal and avoid.
however,
once upon a time
did you have such tainted depths?
or was you inner self identical
to your once intact facade
or did your weakness of the moment
allow her to inject you
with her own spreading mixture of
corrupt promise and ruin?
what have you gotten yourself into girl?
should have floated away with me
to the 4th dimension
into a brighter place with genuine promises
where i could have protected you
from your very own unexpected demons
