Stakes raised high, of no demise-
‘Tis fashion to be this way,
Create a shell, therein ye dwell-
Beyond Hope lies false façade.

As shadows fall, thy form stands tall-
To render his own living grave,
Crucify Love’s Tale, with Hate’s sour wail-
Be your own man, come judgment day.

At rise of dawn, as Heathen’s spawn-
You plagiarize good deeds as fronts,
Sighing that you must cremate Trust-
Obliterate feelings of lust and want.

I beg thy remembrance, 'tis one hindrance-
You must categorize true worth as so,
Before loneliness confiscates life’s grate-
Upon refusal to let your heart grow.

Outward solidity, inward insecurity-
‘Tis naught but a waste of time,
Count yourself worthy, bless security-
Think twice, mayhap this be thine...




 Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Methinks that you are laying it out on the line with this one. . . I can feel the emotions in this one. . .

Superb!!

Devina~
You did a great job with this.

'I beg thy remembrance, 'tis one hindrance-
You must categorize true worth as so,
Before loneliness confiscates life’s grate-
Upon refusal to let your heart grow.'

Doesn't get much clearer than that !

Love ya'

Ah, hell hath no fury, Indeed...
Of course the "think twice" is kind of oxymoronic in this world that gives no second chances...  You've expressed your emotion well here, D.
