Ripples

[crshnbrn200]

Will you not look past
the shadows of those
who stand before your eyes?
Come to accept
realize
the one standing truly
holds no artifice
no shattering secrets.
Will you not open up
to see
I am the only one here
it is simply me and
not some
distorted vision of all
those passed melded
together?
Not here to convince,
cajole or beguile.
Not here to persuade.
I stand alone before you
can you not see?
Look harder
lest I be the one
who slips away
victim to your distorted
reality.

Well, I certainly like this one.

 

[Dastrix Slogan]

I am the only one here
it is simply me and
not some
distorted vision of all
those passed melded
together?

How too damn true, I find myself often just waiting for traits of past partners to start surfacing in new ones, often to my own detriment! Damn fine piece!
