You mean to convey passion
but your voice is devoid of it.
Your words a dagger
come straight at my heart.
I cannot respond
to these fusillades;
I can only deflect, counter,
invent excuses,
turn cold and shiver in the night.

Two cats fighting in the alley.
a game also small minds play,
and when we run out of steam,
I feel no loss, washing you
right out of my hair.

Is there ever going to be light again??? Another great one for sure.

Truths, Lies and Imagination,
The way my life has been
The person that I truly am,
Is very rarely seen. ©das

I like the line, "turn cold and shiver in the night."

"I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation."

jjote,
the expressions you use in this make the poem as cold as ice - and rightly so. Good job!

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
