Writing Lies [E]

[Minako]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Navy]Hello!

My guy friend (NOT my boyfriend) inspired me to write this about him. He's seen it and he likes it, but I want all of you lovely OBers to tell me what you think.

Constructive criticism is much appreciated, but please be kind, this is my first poem...

"Lies"
[I]
I close my eyes, and I see your face.
I could drown in your eyes, your smile?
Your embrace is like a drug,
I?m addicted, and I can?t get enough.
It?s the one place where I feel like belong,
With you.
I can?t stop thinking about you
I can?t wait to talk to you, see you, again.

As our time eventually ends,
So must some good things?

I?m so afraid.

I don?t want to ever let go of this!
You are my sole life-line,
Preventing me from plunging into the deep,
Dark places of my heart.

I?ll never let go,
As I promised you.
And as you promised,
Don?t ever let me go, ever!

Just hold me, and tell me everything is alright
Tell me that there aren?t any bad things,
No monsters hiding in my closet,
Waiting to pounce on me.
Tell me that there still is beauty in the world,
Tell me that there isn?t any fear, pain, or sadness.

Fill my head with lies,
And as you do, I will smile and love you so,
As I cry.
