(Ingenue is a French term mainly used in plays, meaning the female lead of the peice. This poem is a metaphor for many things in my life, it's talking about something that has taken the lead in my life and ultimately taken me to the deep-end)

I look to you for inspiration
You seem to glow perfection
You take my breath away

Ingenue
I need you and I'm not sure why
And yet I am yours until I die

Beguiling smiles on star-lit faces
She can take me to those happy places
You've stolen my pain again

Ingenue
You've made me see my worth again
You've made me see salvation in sin

Self-realization in trippy stages
Self-righteous, hate-filled rages
You now make me cry

Ingenue
Why do I cling to you?
What am I going to do?

Lure me in and trap me tight
I run to you every sad night
You're my compulsion

Ingenue
I only wanted them to say
"She is different today"

Forget the glamour of the game
Forget the day when I was sane
You've taken my life

Ingenue
You have paralyzed my dreams
You have ripped me by the seams

No more conscious; no more smile
I will be gone in a little while
You've stolen my breath

Ingenue

You'll say you understand, you'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in, you don't know wh

Hey Jenna!!

Glad you finally decided to join! ('Tis not as bad as you proclaimed it to be. *Poke*)

Wonderful poem that's full of quirkiness and intrigue. Just like you! Hope you post more. ;oP

Amazing job! I am fully impressed with this one. Welcome to Passions! I am looking forward to all of your poems. Oh, and I really thought your explanation at the beginning aided a lot within the whole understanding of the poem. I would have been clueless otherwise.
Once again, Welcome to Passions, and I hope to see you post more in the future!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
