Bravo! 

They say: Bravo! 

You've such a way 

Of weaving words 

Fictional fantasies 

Intricate fallacies 

That we believe 

A skillful wordsmanship 

You scribble lies 

That make us feel 

As if love is real 

You paint a world

 Extravagant...

Nonexistent...

Unreal...

And somehow 

We can't evade

Its keen appeal 

Dear author 

Well deserved 

Bravo! 

* 

Unworthy 'Bravo'

If only they knew 

The painful truth 

Is not for show

I write because 

I need a purpose

For days awoken 

My chest is hollow 

Meaningful words 

No longer spoken 

A silent language 

Is all I have left 

From years of talking 

Without your eyes 

Without your light

Without your love 

I'm but a shadow 

Of night unbroken 

I write because 

I am afraid...

To lose my words 

To lose my mind 

To lose you again 

And be forsaken
