Notes About The Poem
Black hole love contest Sponsored by Tom Woody

False Sun



first love's false flame burned way too hot and left me nothing but the want for fiery passion to remain to keep me bound in love's pleasure-pain like chasing an addiction high more and more but always just shy I find that I am in a cage I have lost this ancient war you waged so injured, I then licked my wounds to passions heat I am immune all warmth leaked out with your goodbye too frozen to fall, the tears I cry I can still feel that dizzy spin the world revolved around you then I feel so lost all just a blur I did not see the black hole you were yes, my whole world revolved ‘round you you weren't the sun that I pursue I guess I had my eyes shut tight and did not see your dark heart of night the warmth I felt upon my face was not the sun but my disgrace thank God your gone and He forgives and true love, so warm, inside me lives
