Glue...

Love is a funny machine.
An all encompassing traitor who will sell your soul while sending kisses across the chapping breeze.
Wine.
The emotion invoking liquid.
Glue holding us together.
While plotting a drowning.
Or two.
Lies, while apparent refuse to fit into a desperate mold.
So therefore I ignored.
Asphyxiation in truth, fore lack of option.
Forcibly, I saw.
Recovery, a slippery word of hope.
Denial, playing a larger role than I would have liked.
Stories I told myself, excuses arranged in perfect order.
For once in my life I truly gave.
And in return, was truly denied.
Failure when it meant the most.
Following me around like a lost child holding hope of security.
And I allow.
Displayed as a cloak of my progress.
A shamble of reconstruction.
Your name growing tired.
Used in previous entries spilling of false grandeur.
Now nothing more than a simple recollection...jle

..."For once in my life I truly gave. And in return, was truly denied"... Sounds like a simple combination of words, but the truth beneath and beyond the words, that's the reveal. Well done!

"For once in my life I truly gave. And in return was truly denied." Very powerful lines. I've never felt the loss expressed in truer words. "An all encompassing traitor who will sell your soul while sending kisses across the chapping breeze." this is, however, my favorite line in the literary sense. Beautiful. Thank you for this. ~L "^_~"
