Truest Desire

They talk about it like its
a fairy tale. Standing high
upon the sun light, this
is but a fairy tale waiting
to be played out.

On the outside, hidden visions
haunt this smile upon my face,
while trying to scream out for
all to hear.

Inside I am tearing at the seams,
piece by piece these stitches
holding me together are
coming undone.

Pulling back, only to be forced
forward with few words to
be spoken and a fire ready
to be played with.

Take me by the hand and
strip me of all things,
leaving only that of true
desire bleeding out of my
open wounds like a
waterfall of life.
