Notes About The Poem

This is my 600th poem posted here. I feel like I'm washed and well past the days when I could write something genuinely but something keeps pulling me back to poetry. It has been a lifelong passion. But to reach 600 is pretty insane. Happy days my friends.

My Greatest Fail

Shivering in the moonlight
I still stand ready to fight
They called it my greatest fail
But to me it was my holy grail

Demons dance in your eyes
Whispering familiar sweet lies
Regardless of how hard
I've come this far

Devious intentions made you feel over powered
But the truth is you're just a coward
Serenading parades like charades
While in your sleeves you hid your blades

How much blood has been lost
Because you didn't recognize the cost
Once star crossed lovers fate made us enemies
But it is only my heart that feels the freeze

The worst part is after all I've been through
I still shudder at the idea of what I have to do
So here I am ready to let it all go
There's just one thing I want you to know

They called it my greatest fail
But your love was my holy grail
But piercing the clouds is the moonlight
Because it's finally over...this fight
