Forsaking (Poetry - Spoken Word)

Forsaking (Poetry - Spoken Word)

———————————

In the umbrage where verity cloaks,
I awaken amidst a quilt of falsehoods.
Your lingering presence, a sardonic flavor,
Yet your vacancy, a cherished lacuna.
Love's decay, a notion unforeseen,
Yet here we stand, the toll to redeem.
Behind the façades you donned each day,
Who lurks when my gaze does stray?

An angel donning a demon's smirk,
Deception shrouded beneath your flesh.
Eyes once ensnaring, now unveil
The abyss in which you dwell.
Who emerges in the clandestine glow?
A phantom amidst the nocturne's flow,
Adrift within your web of deceit,
When unobserved, your guise discreet.

I ponder my own reality's skein,
Have I conjured this dichotomy?
Are you the figure I once esteemed,
Or merely a phantom in my reverie?
Who surfaces when my lids do close?
A specter donning a flimsy pose,
Enacting a role with nebulous bounds,
When sight averts, your malice compounds.

Within the mirror's sobering reflection,
I discern the verity of your charade.
A fractured essence, a fractured core,
Two countenances sundering our rapport.
Who manifests when the veneer erodes?
A macabre saga of love's eclipse,
Hounded by specters of our own making,
When unseen, you unravel, forsaking.
