Poet Tellaferro Poet Rhyme

Swallow

I swallow hard the bitter tastes of your lips
I choke down your shards of hard lies, 
External stains
I wonder why I let you into my heart

There is a wall you build with…
Thick ramparts and razor wire
You crush my dreams n schemes

My life’s desires
I swallow my pride 
My life

I choke on the ashes and soot
I languish in this selfish hell
I conspire against the cosmic forces that be

I want to drown in the deepest well
I swallow hard the bitter visions of your eyes
I stand in the spotlight for all to see

A broken human of greatness humility
I choke down your shards of hardest fiction, 
Eternity stains me, 

Feeling it drain away leaving only 
Skeletal remains…
I wonder why I let you into my world, 

My realms you destroyed my reality. 

I sink to the ground
Knowing the coming deluge wanting to drown
I choke on your shards of hard lies, 

I am an eternal stain 
I lie awake dream 
Nightmares insane
