Depths Unfabled Poem by Princess LilyPad

Depths Unfabled

Rating: 5.0


Say one lie to them, and feel it in the pit
Say one lie to yourself, and hide it away
Perhaps weep
Shush it with sleep
Say one lie to your god or your natures gift
Oh son, where can you step from such depths?

Like the hand that cradles a baby’s neck
The wooden ramp half cocked on a ledge
A mostly scurried nest of leaves to hold you warm
These things are thin, barren and your lies have laid you there.
Precarious.

Rigor and strength
Lies and tricks
I’d like to take the first
First I gotta scratch outta this trench

If I say to you this time, I promise you’ll be fine
And then I lick it up again
Your never going to find
The strength in your heart to believe me again
This I know
This I hold
But what we all hate and grieve on is the only thing I know.
Me, The monster that loves another
Is not here right now but, trust me he’s an inner brother
That shakes me to the core, punches to the floor
And sits on the dreams I muster.
Please wait, yes… I’m quite near flustered
baby, I said I’m done now.
Will you close the door on your way out.
When I see you next let’s hope this is all what it’s not about.
