The Imbalance of Honesty

I was led to believe that inner beauty speaks volumes.
But chapter by chapter i am inclined to regret my hard reading.
The time has been worn down with cheap adaptations.
Furthering my belief that the past i should have no recollection.

She became tepid with her second hand emotions.
Sullen in voice yet destructive with sedation.
Page by page a new revelation.
The imbalance of honesty is sought for translation.

The binding may hold rigid standing to attention.
But its contents lack substance.
All questions but no answers.....

You are such a gifted writer! I am a little sad to see that you have only two writes on here. I read the first one and it made me read this one, after that you were added to my favorite poets. Please write more and welcome to PoetrySoup! Smiles from Lolita
