White Magic

Magic River by gilad

This is one of many in my new line of pieces drawn from the inspiration given by a long-time friend. What's crazy is that, unlike other girls, the inspiration she gives me clears me mind in a strange way. Expect her to be part of what drives my writing through these next few weeks and for the depth to be more than what's written.

“loVED;withOUT”

I.

“Drop the subject”

“Lose the line”

“Forget the past

And, please, stop crying”

“No loves exists”

Or so she says

I simply ignore

And feel betrayed

Not by her, but

By all those before

Who made me believe

That love’s a whore

II.

“Don’t lose faith”

“Leave your home”

“Forgive me now”

“I’ll cleanse your soul”

So many girls

Have come to me

So many lies

Have brought me down

I look at stars

To dream of change

No one stands up

To take love’s blame

III.

“Drink in misery”

“Love my hate”

“Fall for no one

Unless they’re real”

I stand still

She lies so far away

We’ve grown apart

She still doesn’t see

The final lines

Fall upon deaf ears

She’ll never love

I’ll never hear

[“Don’t believe them”

I wish to think

But hypocrisy is

My only savior]

Fate drives me.
