Jilted lies:

So many distant things,
so many jilted lies;
to understand the depth of them-
you'll have to close your eyes.
To wish upon the timely star-
the star which goes away-
if it be known, the truth be shown-
a lie is yet to be.
A peaceful world of hope and joy,
did not quite succeed-
yet mysery and death it be --
looks at us as we see.
My eyes tell, the truth be found,
it is not what it seems:
Just another day of jilted lies
until the come of salty seas.

Me liked.  Being jilted by anyone isn't a happy thing, but it's funny how sweet it can be before all that happens.  Wonderful first post to Teen.  Welcome to Passions!

Hey, this was a great first post. I hope you enjoy being part of our world here. I really like the part where you say "A peaceful world - death it be..." It's very powerful. Nice work.

glittergirl: yet another astounding debut that i missed in my absence... a wonderful poem though... i particularly like "timely star"... dont know why, i suppose because it is unique and it just seemed to fit well...

sincerely,

And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
