Jamais Vu

"NA" poetry contest Sponsor: Ink Empress 3rd Place. Jamais Vu ~ "The feeling of being unfamiliar with something that is familiar. The opposite of deja vu." These days, life is shroud in a fog so vivid I’m forgetting what it was like before I’m feeling saner in a truth so twisted Nights sure have a way of exposing deplore (And it took a while to realize but-) I was jealous of all the lies I told, the lessons I sought were self-assured clotting my throat were vehement wisterias as I let fear smile a perpetual hysteria My tears tasted metallic the tracks on my cheeks told tales of crimson thoughts bitter, bitter, static just blood in my veins and sickly sweet venom Back then, you didn’t matter that’s what I tell myself every plight this world is an illusion yet to shatter it is why you are prone to this pending bite But words are the one time machine I get to have the epitome of cruel hope each one of us vies Yet we set ablaze dreams of ash You and I, my young magpie Alas you changed and I am changing I know the reason we have changed is not time for you were charged the crime of weeping and I am mourning an ending mime One last lie I want to remember the person I was One last goodbye just another farewell my heart lost
