Soapbox Full of Conviction and Disappointment

Unattainable Desire

By Melissa ChristinePublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Funny how a friend can contemplate murder of a onesided friendship while preaching on mercy and educating about honesty,

Stand on the soapbox and spit truths dripping in sarcasm with a splash of conviction.

An arms length away is where she's kept for safekeeping ,

Silly Boy! A wolf can't be kept in a cage forged in bullshit and humor.

Unattainable desire handed over on a sangria induced haze,

Fucked up from a faded jaded type of lust

A weak troll disguised in a Big Bad Wolf illusion,

Such a disappointment.

And just like that, the High pedestal I placed you on for so long is crumbling,

I stand there and watch because I could have given you the stars and the MOON,

But you wanted the greener grass on the other side.

This SANGRIA has left a bitter taste in my mouth,

No amount of ingredients can mask the fake intentions,

I've choked on the bullshit additives just to keeping playing house.
