Literature Text

Look me in the eye and deny it.
Go on and try it.
I'll wait.

Search my eyes.
Look long and deep.
search the shadows as the creep
across the dark recesses
because anyone's guess is
as good as mine
when they ask me why.

Search the sunbeams,
and the broken dreams.
Sift through the pieces
Left lying in the creases
of the folds across my mind field.
Watch your step.
It's a long way down

Look deeper inside
Each little cranny I used to hide
Each fortress and parapet
Way down as deep as you can get
in castles and moats
and little sail boats
skipping across the bay.
Look in my eyes and say
"You're wrong."

Because it's all there
and I don't care
if it all breaks and tears
and the tears roll free
and send me sinking back in misery.
Because this is my chance
someone asked me to dance and I'll not say no
so on I go,
spinning,
grinning,
twirling,
swirling,
up to the moon
never to come back down again.

So I ask you to look inside
I've got nothing to hide anymore.
So look me in the eye and deny it
go ahead and try it.
Tell me I don't love her.
So the people who tell me that I can't be in love with her...um *clears throat* go to hell. thank you.

Probably the best poem you've written. I love it. Seriously amazing.
