R is for RemyLa

Sometimes Its Nobody

I

They say there's someone for everyone

But that's simply not true for all of us

Some of us will live our lives in loveless limbo

Some of us end up with no-one

II

No-one is the one meant for me

No-one is the one for so many folk

No-one gets 'round like Don Juan or Casanova

No-one is my one love, you see

III

See how a hopeful heart has broke

See how dreams of love fade with betrayal

When there have been so many more lives than truths told

Dreams of love have gone up in smoke

IV

Smoke screen put up to hide the sun

My heart don't want to see the loveless light

It would rather hide inside the eternal night

From a love that lies to everyone

Example:
Of Feelings and face

Brushed aside from gladness of gains,
while windows berated internal sights
and emotions exploded before they reformed--
shivers sighed, as silence sang pains.

Panes wept sadness...until they closed,
as previous hues taught her heart to heat
and external facades masked a ferocious fear--
that future failed for facts supposed.

Supposed to choose a tighter way,
as repugnancy dipped its tongue in truth;
so she started to strip a delectable tale
to an aggressor's dying day.

Day crouched on shins, so still and hushed,
while the sound of survival was amplified
and she gathered escapism from filthy fists--
his backhander of hate...soon brushed.
