Hey, well i've always been into poetry I guess, but this the first ever free verse I've written... I was worried about doing this all wrong, but it's a free verse right so basically I could do what ever I wanted with this. :D

This is for the Free verse challenge

Word count - 199
Prompts- hiding behind a mask, Lost in though of you

I guess when I was writing this I wasn't really sure of the meaning at first, so just let your imagination figure it out for you...

Enjoy!


You're hiding behind a mask
Pretending you don't care
But you mask is NOT flawless
and you wall is beginning to crumble
I can see the cracks appear slightly
wobbling and threatening to topple over
to crush us both
but yet, you keep on pretending

You're lost in your own world
and I'm, lost in thought of you,
so now;
I gaze on

W o r t h l e s s
The word echoes on in your mind
H o p e l e s s
You never thought life could get this bad
but it did
and who's fault is that?
You're already dead
and it's killing me every day
to see you so naïve to the real world

So tell me,
Do you just want to see me suffer?
Because you know I can't help you…
and you know it tortures me every day!
So why do you still pretend?
Pretend everything's alright…?

I hate you!
yet…
I love you…
and I miss you…

But now I know what I never knew before;
I was just looking into a mirror
reflecting my ragged, shadowed soul
because it was never you who was pretending
It was me

Fin!
