Thirteen Verse Poem by jose de claro

A thousand words have been said.
Promises that have been made.
Saying I could let go.
Forget this feeling I have for you.

“I could live without you;
Who cares, I could face tomorrow.
This is just a fever,
It will end sooner or later.”

From those words was a liar.
Hiding the tears behind his laughter.
A lonely guy masked as a clown,
Dancing to the tune of 3 doors down.

Behind bars was a great pretender.
Captivated by your love…I became a prisoner.
A liar…on his legs was a cold shackles.
And in his hand was a thorny flower.

All I need is a piece of your love,
To ease the pain long time I have.
You hold the key to my liberty.
Am I asking too much? Oh I’m so sorry.

If that’s the case, what’s the reason for living?
Will you take this heart no longer beating?
It belongs to you. I’m sure you knew that.
Remember the letter? It says the fact.

Maybe you acted that way,
Coz you’ve never been through this.
To be hurt by someone you adore most,
And the hardest thing is facing the truth.

All those years you were just pretending.
All those time you were just then lying.
Or maybe I’m the one to be blamed.
Not knowing the rules, I played the game.

A smile is enough to shaken my nerves.
Her kindness, even me doesn’t deserve.
Being with her, takes me to other place.
Now, tell me, who could resist that pretty face?

I was just a victim of her charm.
I thought this won’t cause me any harm.
I didn’t know till one day,
I discovered, she became part of me.

How long could I stand on both?
If my actions reveal the truth.
The truth that…still, this feeling won’t fade.
It would be forever till I’m dead.
