Only Make Believe

My first "sappy" poem


You ask me, why do I trust so much things that I can never love?

Why do I stare so much at the clear, blue sky above?

Why do I prefer the touch of biting ray-skin in my hand than your soft palm?

Why do I spend my hours using anger to bring myself a moment of calm?


I trust them because they are real

They don't break me down, bring my brittle pride to heel

There, they don't strike, and I don't have to strike back

And a ruined day isn't left looking hopelessly black.


My throat is sore, and my eyes singed with salt tears

Yet the rays-skin hurls back all my fears

The sky shows me that there will be a better end

My anger shows that my heart is not yours to break or bend.


The love you give is not real, only make believe,

And you hope your disappointment will leave me to grieve.

So yes, I trust these things, though dead they may be,

because they will not cause half the pain trusting you will bring me.


I can not lie, I made that up on the go, and it shows. Its trash, and hard to even figure out, but hey, maybe i'll get better? Also, please note, my claymore was handled with ray skin, so that's what i'm referencing.
