Facing Reality Poem by Michelle Gabriella Vergottini

I’m nothing more than a forgotten beauty
Left behind
Insecure
Unsure
I’m not immaculate
Only fracture
Fate and life lost to my sight
I want to take flight
I can’t face
The life I need to erase
They haunt my dreams
Killing what I had rebuild inside
You won’t be there
When my fears take flight
I need you
Yet I can’t feel you
Your here beside me
But your love is with another
Leave me be
I need to be free
You’ve encaged my soul
Your love isn’t real
You don’t even feel
Your kisses are dead
Forgotten is the thought that you cared
Now I leave
You won’t love me
Not now not ever
It’s easier to walk away
Than to have you leave me one day
I couldn’t live without you
Yet you showed me each day that you could
Leaving pieces of truth
Forgotten in youth
I’ll live another day
Without you here to stay
