Unreality

I got good feedback on this poem, so I thought I'd post it. Enjoy ya'lls.

Unreality

Is that really you,

With your coy smirk?

How charming you are.

Beckoning me to come hither.

Slowly

I proceed with caution

I break through the barrier

Confidence building with every step.

The sort I have never known.

Prince Charming

A God among men.

I am Cinderella

Dressed in my best to impress

Only you.

Always you.

But as I approach

The image becomes fuzzy

Slowly dissipating

Into nothingness

Back into the nothingness I know so well

Dark

Dreary

Home?

You’re not who I thought you were.

Just an empty, poisonous smile.
